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.

The England all-rounder Paul Collingwood has undergone surgery on his left knee and is expected to be fit for the Twenty20 and one-day internationals against Sri Lanka in June.

The Durham man underwent the procedure to remove "loose bodies" and correct cartilage damage after being hampered by knee problems during the recent World Cup on the subcontinent.

The 34-year-old, who remains captain of the Twenty20 side, announced his retirement from Test cricket following England's Ashes success in Australia after struggling for form with the bat.

He also endured a disappointing World Cup and was left out for the group games against Bangladesh and the West Indies, as well as the quarter-final defeat to Sri Lanka.
