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.Watford Royals changed their name, their venue, their coach and most of their players for the new Budweiser campaign, but following the same schedule as last season they have sacked their coach, with club director Vince Razaq taking over.
Last season, defeat at Sheffield on 4 October cost Mark Dunning his job as coach to Hemel Royals; last Saturday at Thames Valley Tigers saw the end for Dana Beszczynski.
"It's only a temporary measure," Razaq said. "We need to see who is around and we have to get the decision right this time.
Unfortunately for Razaq, tonight's opponents, Manchester Giants, have relieved the pressure on their own coach, Jim Brandon, with two wins after losing their first three games. They capitalised on an injury to Billy Singleton last Sunday to beat Leicester City Riders 89-73.
