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.

Birmingham will come face to face with Earvin "Magic" Johnson in European competition next season. The new format for the 2001-02 NEBL Open will pit the Bullets against the former NBA player and his Magic Great Danes team.

Birmingham made a successful first foray into European competition last season, reaching the Challenge Cup final. The NEBL now has three groups in the preliminary round, in which Bullets will play four games at home and four away between October and December. In Bullets' Group A are their cup final conquerors, Odessa, of the Ukraine, Alvik Stockholm of Sweden, Pepinster of Belgium, Ventspils of Latvia and BC Siauliai of Lithuania. Two teams are yet to be confirmed.

The top five teams from this nine-team group will go through to the qualification round, to be played in January and February 2002.
