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.HONG KONG achieved the rare feat of tying two successive games on Wednesday in the ICC Trophy, now entering its seventh day, writes Mark Newham from Nairobi. In a one-day match spanning Sunday and Monday they matched Denmark's 192 and were awarded the points having lost two fewer wickets. On Tuesday and Wednesday the tables were reversed when Bermuda equalled Hong Kong's 154 but for two wickets less.
This, so far, has been the only occasion on which any of the top four seeds - the Netherlands, Bangladesh, Kenya and Bermuda - has been made to break sweat to take the points and all are on course to qualify for the second round.
With 28 of the 75 scheduled matches of the mini-World Cup complete, all the top seeds have unbeaten records in their two matches. They are joined by the much-fancied, but unseeded, Canadian side, the United Arab Emirates and Ireland.
