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.ITV will show England's opening two group games against the US and Algeria at this summer's finals in South Africa, with the BBC screening the last against Slovenia, then having the pick of the round of 16 and quarter-final games.
If England reach the semi-final both broadcasters will show the game and both will show the final. It is the traditional split, with the commercially sensitive ITV taking the safe option of games that will definitely count, while the BBC is able to take a longer-term view. England's first two games both kick off in prime time, at 7.30pm, and promise to deliver large audiences. ITV will also show the opening game on 11 June between South Africa and Mexico. The BBC's first game will be Uruguay v France later that evening.
