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.Tommaso Chieffi steered Eurosia to victory in the second of the five-race series, the Sheraton Trophy Race, at the Swan World Championship in Sardinia yesterday. He finished the 32-mile race, which took the 81- boat fleet from Porto Cervo around the Maddalena Islands of the Costa Smeralda, just over a minute-and-a-half ahead of the rest of the competition on corrected time. Richard Loftus' Desperado of Cowes was the highest placed British yacht - second overall - as the opening race winner, Stephen Fein, slipped to sixth in Full Pelt.
The second day of racing at the Laser European Championships in Austria was cancelled yesterday due to a lack of wind, leaving Britain's Ben Ainslie in sixth place overall.
