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.

Hampshire are looking for a new overseas player after deciding not to retain the West Indian fast bowler Nixon McLean next season. McLean, signed as a replacement for the Australian Michael Kasprowicz, is not having his contract renewed despite taking more than 100 first-class wickets in the last two seasons. Hampshire have also released the batsman Matthew Keech and the pace bowlers Steve Lugsden and Thomas Hansen while the all- rounder Kevan James, 38, has retired. The county have offered contracts to the teenagers Lawrence Prittipaul, James Adams and Iain Brunnschweiler, a Southampton-born wicketkeeper of Swiss ancestry.
