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.

Dermot Reeve, the Warwickshire captain, has been awarded a benefit in 1996. The England all-rounder joined the county in 1988.

Bob Carter, Northamptonshire's chief coach since 1987, is to leave the club at the end of the coming season. Carter, 34, was offered another long-term contract by the county, but turned it down in favour of a three- year deal as senior coach to New Zealand's side Wellington, where he has worked for the last three winters.

A row between Kerry Packer's Nine Network and a pay-TV operator threatens to prevent cricket followers here from watching what has been dubbed the world championship of cricket - Australia's tour of the West Indies. Australis, which began transmission in January, claim to have the rights to the Caribbean series, but Packer's free-to-air network, the major cricket broadcaster, will not budge on simultaneous coverage with its fledgling rival.
