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.Durham's bowlers gave their side a superb chance of a first County Championship win of the season after a rain-interrupted day at the Riverside yesterday.
The Durham attack needed only 22.2 overs to take the last four Gloucestershire wickets, reducing the visitors to a first-innings total of 132, with Ian Hunter taking 3 for 62.
Following on 338 runs adrift of the home side, Kim Barnett (20 not out) helped the visitors finish the day on 44 for 2, still 294 runs in arrears.
At Trent Bridge, Nottinghamshire and Northamptonshire are heading towards a draw. In between the frequent showers yesterday, the hosts were only able to extend their score from 184 for 7 to 207 for 8 – still 70 runs adrift.
Rain washed out play at The Oval, where Surrey are playing Somerset, and at Horsham, where Sussex are entertaining Leicestershire.
