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 put on a dominant display over old rivals Australia to advance to the men's World Team Championship final in Paderborn, Germany.

World No 1 Nick Matthew sent England through to their seventh final of the biennial event with a fine win over former world champion David Palmer 11-5, 11-8, 11-5. Matthew last lost to Palmer in 2007.

Fellow Yorkshireman James Willstrop, playing second string, started off England's blitz by beating Cameron Pilley 11-7, 11-8, 11-2. "To beat him in that fashion was something special," said the world No 4.

England will play Egypt or France in today's final.
