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.Ricky Ponting hit his first century of the tour to enhance his claims for the troublesome No 6 spot in the Australian Test side as Mark Taylor's men put a threadbare Glamorgan attack to the sword in Cardiff yesterday.
The 22-year-old was unbeaten on 126 when Taylor declared Australia's first innings, leaving the Championship leaders an awkward eight overs to face before the close, but Steve James and Hugh Morris comfortably survived the efforts of Paul Rieffel and Mike Kasprowicz.
Justin Langer, one of Ponting's competitors for a Test place, hit 50 not out as he and Ponting shared an unfinished fifth-wicket partnership of 123 in 27 overs.
