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.THE Wembley Arena Complex is to be the new home for the Budweiser League club, London Towers, who have yet to win any honours but can now boast one of the world's most famous sporting venues as their base, writes Duncan Hooper.
London will play at the specially created Wembley Court, which has been adapted from one of Wembley's exhibition halls into a 1,300-seat arena, and will have a permanent basketball floor. Their first game at Wembley will be against Manchester Giants on 10 March.
Craig Stanley of Marshall Arts, the music and entertainment promoters, who took over the club before Christmas, is now managing director of the club. He said: 'We knew our experience in promoting and entertainment offered a great potential marriage with basketball, but to put on top quality sporting entertainment we needed a premier venue.'
