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.JOHN SNOW and Fred Titmus, the former England Test bowlers, have been added to England's team of specialist coaches. They will be at Lilleshall today for the first of the England A team's preparatory sessions for their tour of South Africa, which starts on 29 November.
Snow and Titmus will also help Mike Atherton's senior England side before their tour to the West Indies in the New Year. Keith Fletcher, the England team manager, said: 'They were very good Test players indeed and both are excellent coaches.
'What I like about them is that both talk cricket sense. We have a younger and therefore less experienced squad, and it is very important that they have people who have been through it telling them how to do their job at Test level - mentally and tactically - and how to psyche themselves up.'
Saeed Anwar hit 131, the highest score by a Pakistani in one-day internationals, to help Pakistan beat the West Indies by five wickets in the Champions Trophy in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, yesterday. Opening the innings and facing a West Indies total of 260 for 9, Saeed's century was the foundation of Pakistan's reply of 261 for 5. Saeed scored 107 against Sri Lanka on Saturday in the same competition.
