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.

THE centenary World Cup draw yesterday paired the newcomers, South Africa and Fiji, with the game's two strongest nations, Australia and the hosts, England, writes Dave Hadfield from Brisbane.

The three-week competition in October 1995 will be launched with a match between England and Australia at Wembley. The final will be at the same stadium three weeks later, with all domestic competition suspended.

WORLD CUP DRAW: Group One: England, Australia, South Africa, Fiji. Group Two: New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Tonga. Group Three: Wales, France, Western Samoa.
