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.

The much-awaited clash between the two great Asian sides provided some thrilling high-class hockey as India rallied to beat Pakistan 7-4 in their final pool game in the Champions Trophy in Amsterdam last night.

Pakistan's defeat rules them out of tomorrow's final with the possibility now of a repeat match for the bronze medal.

Trailing 2-3 at the interval, India pulled back to 4-4 midway through the second half before two goals in three minutes from 23-year-old Gagan Ajit Singh put India in the driving seat. Deepak Thakur collected his second of the game to seal the match.

Earlier, in the women's Four Nations event, Argentina opened their goal-scoring account with a 6-0 defeat of Germany. Ines Arrondo scored twice.

Germany's setback followed the news that their star striker Natascha Kellerh had twisted her ankle ligaments in training on Thursday, and is a doubtful starter for the European Cup.
