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.

THE West Indies' cricket tour of India, due to begin next week, has been postponed for seven days because of the epidemic.

The squad had been set to arrive on Wednesday with the first one-day international scheduled for 12 October in Baroda, near the centre of the outbreak. The tour is now expected to start with a one-day international in the northern city of Faridabad on 17 or 18 October.

Officials from the Board of Control for Cricket in India said the West Indians requested a postponement. 'The new schedule will be decided after consultations with the West Indian authorities,' a spokesman said.
