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.NEW ZEALAND can reach the Cricket World Cup final by upsetting Pakistan in tomorrow's semi-final at Old Trafford. The vagaries of cricket are such that value is everything and, with an imperfect record in this tournament, Pakistan are no betting proposition at odds-on, while New Zealand are worth a nibble both to triumph in their semi and to go on and win the World Cup outright. Australia can eliminate South Africa at Edgbaston on Thursday. The Australians beat the same rivals at Headingley on Sunday.
