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.

KRIS SRIKKANTH, the Indian opener, has announced his retirement. Srikkanth, 33, appeared in 43 Tests and 145 one-day internationals since making his debut against England in the 1981-82 season. He scored 2,061 Test and 4,092 one- day runs. The right-hander, who last played for India in a disastrous World Cup campaign in Australia and New Zealand, said he was retiring so he could pay more attention to his engineering export business.

SOMERSET are considering selling their Taunton ground for commercial development. The club have been approached by a major company wanting to buy the County Ground site, which has been their base for more than 100 years.
