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.

Yawar Saeed has resigned as Pakistan team manager, the Pakistan Cricket Board announced yesterday. His decision comes as no surprise after he oversaw a turbulent tour of England which saw his team beaten in the Test, one-day international and Twenty20 series.

But the on-field action was overshadowed by accusations of spot-fixing involving Test captain Salman Butt and fast bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer. A statement from the PCB today read: "Mr Yawar Saeed has requested to be relieved of his duties as manager of the national team. The chairman has agreed to this request."
