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.A LIBEL action against the Sunday Telegraph launched by the Pakistan team and their governing body following allegations of cheating during the Old Trafford Test match against England last year was settled amicably in the High Court yesterday. The Sunday Telegraph apologised to the Pakistan board, the joint team managers, Intikhab Alam and Khalid Mahmood, and Javed Miandad for an article labelling them the 'pariahs of cricket'. The newspaper had agreed to make 'a suitable donation' to the Abdul Sattar Edhi Foundation, Karachi, a charity chosen by the Pakistanis, and to pay their legal costs.
PAKISTAN pulled out of a three-nation veterans' one-day series which began in Bombay yesterday. The series is now being played between India and South Africa. Relations between India and Pakistan are at a low ebb after a siege of Kashmiri militants by Indian troops at a Sringar mosque. Pakistan's participation in next month's one-day series - to be played by the hosts India, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies and Zimbabwe - is also in doubt.
