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 weather forecast could decide whether Yorkshire pick Michael Bevan for their NatWest Trophy semi-final against Lancashire at Old Trafford on 13 August.

The left-hander has to fly home at 10.30pm on the same day to join a training camp in preparation for Australia's short tour of Sri Lanka, which may not go ahead because of the political situation on the island, and Yorkshire's request for a 24-hour reprieve has been turned down.

Essex, who play Surrey at The Oval in other semi-final, are in the same position with their own prolific batsman, Stuart Law.

Yorkshire's cricket chairman Bob Platt said: "Much will depend on the weather. If it is a good day with an encouraging forecast, Bevan will play. We will, however, have two players standing by as cover."
