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.Great Britain continued their excellent progress in the world championships in Eindhoven when they recorded their fourth win in four matches with a 10-0 victory over Bulgaria yesterday.
Kevin Conway, with his sixth goal of the tournament, opened the account after five minutes and there were further strikes by Tony Hand, Doug McEwen, Ian Cooper and Stephen Johnson to put Britain 5-0 up by the end of an impressive first period.
Scott Morrison and Cooper scored in the second period as Britain forged further ahead, and then Cooper completed his hat-trick midway through the third. There was also a second goal for Johnson and one for Iain Robertson.
It was quite different from the last time the two nations met, in Pool C in Copenhagen two years ago, when Bulgaria won 5-4.
The result, which followed wins against the pre-tournament favourites Poland, as well as Denmark and Japan, left a confident Great Britain in second place in Pool B. Everything is now set up for what should be the decisive encounter this evening against the leaders, the Netherlands, who last night beat Japan 5-3.
