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.

DAVID LAWRENCE, the England and Gloucestershire fast bowler, is to have an operation on August 15 to remove steel pins from his shattered knee cap.

Injured in the third Test against New Zealand at Wellington in February, 28-year-old Lawrence has already ruled out a comeback until next season when he has a benefit.

'The pins have to come out at some stage so it might as well be now,' he said today.

'They are hampering my complete recovery, but the doctor tells me once they are out I'll have the full movement of my leg and knee again.'
