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.ENGLAND'S Roy Cutts, Andy Thomson and John Bell increased their slight chance of reaching today's Woolwich World triples final at Worthing when they inflicted South Africa's first defeat of the championships yesterday.
The 17-11 defeat of Cyril Lahana, Robbie Rayfield and Kevin Campbell, leaves both sides with 11 wins from their 12 matches, but the South Africans have a vastly superior shots aggregate. If they beat Australia tomorrow morning in their concluding section match, they will go forward to the afternoon final.
In the other triples section, Canada missed the opportunity of a place in the final when they lost 15-12 to Argentina, leaving Ireland and Israel to meet in a section decider this morning.
In the pairs, Scotland's Richard Corsie and Alex Marshall will meet Fiji's Pani Matailevu and Caucau Turagabeci for a place in the final.
The Scots, after surrendering their unbeaten record yesterday morning, recovered to beat the defending world champions, Peter Belliss and Rowan Brassey of New Zealand, 22-15, to stay on course for further progress. The other section is between Canada's Ron Jones and Bill Boettger and Ireland's Stevie Adamson and Sammy Allen.
