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.

Great Britain's Fed Cup team face a long trip to Argentina in April after reaching the World Group II play-offs for the second year in succession. If they win in Argentina they will reach a level they haven't been to since 1993.

Victory over Bulgaria in Israel last Sunday sent Judy Murray's team through from the Euro/Africa Group and gave them a big chance to move into the world's top 16 in 2014.

Britain are currently ranked one place above Argentina at 16 in the Fed Cup rankings. They have won both previous meetings, the last of which took place in West Germany in 1980. While Britain have Heather Watson and Laura Robson in the world's top 50, Argentina's leading player is Paula Ormaechea at 195.
