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.

Five members of the Pakistan World Cup squad, Wasim Akram, Salim Malik, Ijaz Ahmed, Mushtaq Ahmed and Waqar Younis,have been summoned to appear tomorrow before a judicial inquiry into match-fixing. However, as the team are due to leave for England today for the World Cup the five would be represented by their lawyers.

Six centres of excellence, at the universities of Bradford and Leeds, Cambridge, Cardiff, Durham, Loughborough and Oxford, have been chosen by the England and Wales Cricket Board as part of the strategy to improve the development of student cricketers as potential first-class players.
