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.

Andrew Lauder and Kevin Harper edged out Australia's Michael Brown and Gary Willis to give Scotland hope in the first session of the Under-25 Test in Glasgow yesterday.

The Australians were close to taking a 3-0 lead when Brown and Willis were 20-16 ahead with three ends to play, but the Scots finished with a three and two singles for a 21-20 victory.

Earlier, Paul Harman and Tom Ellem held off a late fightback from Graham Chambers and Alex Kelly before Australia went further ahead when Troy Somerville and Brett Duprez capitalised on their 20-15 lead in the last end against Robert Menzies and Graeme Campbell.
