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.England's Hockey World Cup campaign ground to a halt today as they were beaten 4-1 by Germany in the semi-finals.
Hopes were high after an impressive group stage campaign in Delhi which saw them become the first to qualify for the last four thanks to victories over favourites Australia, India. Pakistan and South Africa.
But they fell behind to Jan-Marco Montag's goal from a short corner after six minutes and that became 2-0 five minutes later through Oliver Korn.
Richard Smith pulled one back for England, but Martin Haner re-established Germany's two-goal advantage just before the break and Linus Butt rounded off the scoring from a penalty corner.
Germany will face either Australia or Holland in the final, with the losers of that match playing England for the bronze medal.
