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.

Shane Warne will captain Australia for the first time in today's World Series match against New Zealand in Sydney.

He takes over the limited-overs role from the injured Steve Waugh, and promised to adopt aggressive tactics since victory would put Australian on the verge of a meeting with South Africa in the final.

"We'll be attacking, for sure," he said. "Probably you will see some weird things but I will take it like any other game and go out and do my best."
