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.Ian Botham and Bill Beaumont are to stand down as team captains on the BBC's A Question of Sport.
Favourites to step into their shoes are Sue Barker, the former tennis player, and Will Carling, the former England rugby union captain.
Botham, the cricket all-rounder, and Beaumont, another former England rugby captain, decided to step down after recording more than 300 episodes of the show.
Botham has found it difficult to meet his schedule with the BBC while working as a commentator for Sky TV. The BBC last night refused to comment on likely successors.
