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.

GLAMORGAN allowed fans into Sophia Gardens for free yesterday, but the Welsh county's attempt to increase interest in Sunday cricket on a week day was not blessed with success on the pitch.

The free-for-all in Cardiff was spoiled by Yorkshire, who won by 37 runs as the host county were skittled out for 188, with the pace bowler Ryan Sidebottom taking 6 for 40. Tony Cottey top-scored for the county champions with 78.

Yorkshire had earlier made 225 for 5 off their 40 overs, with David Byas hitting 71 and Anthony McGrath contributing 55 not out.
