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.

England's last hope of a place in Saturday's World Championship final ended in Birmingham yesterday after South Africa beat Trinidad 58-49. Only victory by Trinidad could have kept the home side in contention for the gold medal.

England, who beat Malawi 68-45 yesterday, need a victory against Trinidad today to ensure a place in Friday's third place play-off against New Zealand.

After criticism of this year's tournament, the International Federation of Associations have announced changes for the 1999 championship in New Zealand. Instead of 27 teams, there will be a limit of 16, with two semi-finals and a final rather than this year's group system.
