Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.BRITISH competitors scored two wins in the Laser European Championship at Hayling Island yesterday, but it was the Scandinavians, - in particular Wilhelm Suneson of Sweden - who prevailed in a southerly breeze that increased from six knots to 12 knots, writes Stuart Alexander.
Suneson's two first places were not enough to put him top, as Elvind Melleby of Norway displaced Francesco Bruni of Italy. Another Norwegian, Terje-Andre Kjer, is third and Simon Bowes-Cole of Britain is fourth. This quartet is far enough ahead to suggest that one of them will take the overall title, even though two other Britons, Mark Littlejohn and Richard Stenhouse, also won races.
