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.

Britain grateful to Garcia

Russell Garcia celebrated his 200th international appearance yesterday with a goal which gave Great Britain a 1-0 win against Pakistan in the NCM Four Nations Tournament here, writes Brian Tatlock in Amstelveen. Britain, looking for their first win in seven games, started confidently but, after early misses by Nick Thompson and Chris Mayer, began to fade as Pakistan moved forward. Goalkeeper Simon Mason made a string of outstanding saves and with the rock-like Julian Halls having his best game for some time, Britain held firm. Even so, it was with a certain amount of relief that they won a penalty stroke two minutes into the second half and the cool, confident Garcia stepped up to convert.
