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.

International Cricket Council nations has agreed in principle to enforce on a worldwide basis Danish Kaneria's life ban for corruption.

The Pakistan leg-spinner was banned by the England and Wales Cricket Board after encouraging his former Essex team-mate Mervyn Westfield to engage in spot-fixing.

Westfield, jailed for four months in February for deliberately bowling badly in a CB40 game in 2009, was given a five-year domestic ban. At a board meeting in Kuala Lumpur the ICC has now said other countries "should recognise and respect the sanctions".
