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 took control of the Spuerkees Cup in Luxembourg on Saturday with back-to-back victories over Scotland, by 78-49, and the hosts by 71-70 thanks to a last-minute tip-in by Julius Joseph.

The tournament is England's first of the build-up to the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne next March.

John Amaechi, the former NBA player, and Julius Joseph each scored 16 points against the Scots. Joseph, who played last season with Belgium's Colfontaine, provided the cutting edge against Luxembourg, scoring 26 points.
