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.BRIAN BOLUS has refused to be drawn on the likely successor to the outgoing England coach David Lloyd, despite the chairman of the management advisory committee paying a visit to Grace Road, where the Leicestershire coach, Jack Birkenshaw, and captain, James Whitaker, ply their trade.
Bolus played a straight bat to questions about the credentials of his two fellow Yorkshiremen for the jobs of coach (Birkenshaw) and manager (Whitaker). Speaking after play had been washed out on the first day of Leicestershire's County Championship match against Glamorgan, Bolus said: "I just came to watch a game of cricket and see some old friends.
"The situation regarding England is that the advisory committee will meet on Monday to process the applications for the coach's job and discuss the management job."
Whitaker said: "A lot of names are being mentioned as candidates, and it's flattering to be among those."
