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.Sussex have refused to confirm reports linking the former West Indies opener, Desmond Haynes, with the vacant post of first-team coach following his recent departure from Middlesex.
"Several names have been linked to the appointment but obviously Haynes has the track record and expertise that could make us wish to talk to him if he were available," the county's marketing manager, Robert Griffiths, said. "Obviously we want to fill the position as soon as possible but I can not confirm whether an approach has been made."
The 39-year-old batsman played in 116 Tests for the West Indies, four of them as captain, and is taking legal action against them for damages and loss of earnings after being left out of the squad for the summer Test series here.
Sussex, who have gone nine seasons without a trophy, also want to appoint a director of cricket and coaching in an effort to revive their fortunes.
