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.

Denmark will take their place in the NatWest Trophy in 1999, adding to the international flavour of English cricket's enlarged 60-over tournament.

The England and Wales Cricket Board yesterday confirmed the Danes' inclusion in the one-day competition, which will be contested by 60 teams in two years' time. When Denmark enter the NatWest, they will have to play away from home during their first campaign, but the situation will be reviewed for 2000 depending on the quality of a new grass square being laid at Brondby, near Copenhagen.

The opposition will comprise the existing participants Scotland, Ireland and the Netherlands, along with the 18 English first-class counties and 38 amateur teams representing the new County Boards in England.
