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 tour of India is back on and the full-strength Test squad will travel to Chennai tomorrow afternoon.
Coach Peter Moores' hope that all of the team's frontline players would resume the trip, aborted last weekend following the Mumbai terrorist attacks, was realised at a lengthy security briefing tonight.
Confirmation that the two-Test series would proceed - pending a full security inspection being made at Mohali over the coming days - arrived at 10.50pm local time.
Senior players Andrew Flintoff and Steve Harmison were among those wavering, Moores confirmed yesterday, but of the original party only the injured Ryan Sidebottom stays away - he was today replaced by the uncapped Kent paceman Amjad Khan.
