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.

Dermot Reeve, the Warwickshire captain, reacted positively to the news that he will miss the rest of the season because of an arthritic hip which requires an operation.

"Though it's not good news when you have an arthritic hip," he said, "I understand a number of sprinters have had the same operation, and Angus Fraser had his hip joint scraped and has been able to bowl again.

"It's very frustrating because I had made probably my best start to a season with a century against Sussex and five wickets against Northants - but the hip has just got worse."

The influential all-rounder admitted: "We had hoped that an injection might work and that I might be able to put the operation off until the end of the season.

"But I had a run round and it was no better, so I've got to have the joint scraped and that means two to three months out."
