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.It took Bobby Crutchley eight seconds to set England on their way to a fifth win in their five-match Test series against Egypt in Cairo yesterday as they beat their hosts 3-2 in a scrappy game.
Russell Garcia, put England further ahead with a penalty stroke four minutes later before they lost their momentum. The game was littered with petty fouls, Egypt twice being reduced by temporary suspensions to 10 men.
Ahmed Zein pulled one back for Egypt in the second half when the English defence failed to cut out a cross from Ahmed Hamanda, but Crutchley restored the two-goal margin. Amyo Fata scored from the penalty spot for Egypt in the final minute.
Surbiton and Havant maintained their unbeaten records at the top of the First Division of the National League yesterday. Simon Tinkler scored for Surbiton in their 1-0 win against Harlesden Magpies, while Havant came from behind against Oxford University to win 6-4 thanks to four goals from Derek Cunliffe, who converted three penalty strokes.
