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.FOUR months after coaching the British women's team to an Olympic silver and two bronzes, Roy Inman has had his British Judo Association licence withdrawn following an investigation into financial irregularities. 'In the light of the findings from a board of inquiry, we have decided to put the matter into the hands of the police,' George Kerr, the BJA's chairman, said during the national championships at Crystal Palace yesterday. Inman resigned as women's team manager in September and is taking the BJA to an industrial tribunal. He has denied the charges, saying: 'I welcome any investigation into my accounts.'
