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.There were wins for South Korea and Argentina but Australia, the other fancied team, could only draw 1-1 with Spain in Pool A of the Waterford Crystal women's world cup in Dublin yesterday, writes Peter Colwill. South Korea now lead the pool with five points after beating Ireland 2-0, but they had to beat off several spirited Irish attacks after Dong Sook Jang had fired them into a fourth-minute lead. Sarah Kelleher, the Irish captain, wasted two chances when well placed before Eun Jung Cho converted a penalty-corner in the second half. Only a reverse stick sweep by Vanina Oneto separated Argentina from Russia who, with a victory against Australia on the opening day, are proving more formidable then expected. England, who play Germany this morning, go into their last three matches in Pool B needing maximum points after drawing with China and losing to America.
