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 PAKISTAN batsman Yousuf Youhana has been ruled out of the World Cup semi-final against New Zealand at Old Trafford tomorrow with a hamstring injury. The in-form 24-year-old, who has averaged 53.66 in four matches, batted in the nets yesterday, but coach Mushtaq Mohammad said he was unlikely to be risked.
"I feel we can manage with the same combination that beat Zimbabwe last week," said Mushtaq. "But we may have to play him if we reach the final."
Nottinghamshire have defended their actions in the face of claims that they ruined the "carnival of cricket" spirit at Saturday's World Cup semi- final between New Zealand and India. Trent Bridge officials were criticised for a series of tannoy announcements in which fans were told not to stand or make "excessive noise".
"We had complaints from people who had spent a lot of money on tickets and their day was being spoilt by what was going on," the Nottinghamshire chief executive, Mark Arthur, said. "We felt it was important that we at least tried to do something in their interests. We were only asking for people to show some consideration for others."
