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.

Michael Clarke, who scored Test centuries in his first matches away and at home, won the 2005 Allan Border Medal yesterday as Australia's best cricketer of 2004.

Bangladesh became only the second team to win a five-match one-day series having been 2-0 down after an easy eight-wicket victory against Zimbabwe in the final game in Dhaka. Aftab Ahmed led the way with 81 not out as the Tigers took 33 overs to reach 202 for 2 after the visitors had been bowled out for 198.
