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.

The jury in the trial of Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif has been told by the judge that he will accept a majority decision after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict in the case against the Pakistan players.

The jury told Mr Justice Clarke yesterday that they could not agree, and he said he will now accept a 10-2 majority decision. Butt and Asif deny charges of accepting corrupt payments and conspiracy to cheat.
