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.

Leicestershire are in talks to sign experienced former Pakistan batsman Mohammad Yousuf.

The 37-year-old played 90 Test matches and 287 one-day internationals and spent a brief spell with Warwickshire last season.

The Leicestershire head coach, Phil Whitticase, said: "Mohammad is one of the guys we have looked at and we have offered something to him."

Meanwhile, the Hampshire captain, Jimmy Adams, has signed a one-year contract extension that will keep him at the Rose Bowl until the end of the 2013-14 season. The 31-year-old played in Hampshire's trophy-winning sides in 2009 and 2010.
