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.

Double Dutch blow for English hopes

It was not England's day in the Volvo Masters Four Nations Junior Tournament in Vught yesterday, writes Brian Tatlock. Both teams went down to the Dutch on the final day, with the women losing 2-0 to finish in second place and the men losing 4-1 to miss out on a bronze medal. England's coach Mary Nevill will have taken great heart from the performance of her women's squad, however. England were less impressive in the men's encounter, where 20-year-old Bram Lomans scored two goals to leave England trailing 3-0 at half time. England reduced the lead through Stuart Humphries in the 48th minute, but the revival was short-lived, and Jochem Haverman slipped in for their fourth after 61 minutes.
