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.

Great Britain eased their relegation fears and maintained hopes of a bronze medal with an emphatic 6-2 victory over the Netherlands in the World Championship in Eindhoven yesterday.

Paul Adey and Patrick Scott gave Britain a 2-0 lead in the first period and goals by Merv Priest, Steve Moria and Simon Hunt - after David Livingston had pulled one back for the Dutch - put their side 5-1 up by the end of the second period.

The final period proved an anticlimax as Great Britain tired and the Dutch failed to take advantage. Tim Cranston did increase the lead with a penalty before Johannes Stoer gained a late consolation goal for the hosts. Britain now have four points from four games.
