Your support helps us to tell the story
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.SHANE WARNE has demanding culinary tastes and his hosts on Australia's tour of India have had to admit defeat. The leg- spinner has an aversion to spicy food and an Indian inability to cater to his particular needs took the wind out of his sails as he prepared for the first Test, which starts in Chenai today.
The bowler, who was none too pleased earlier this year when several cracks were made about his corpulence, has lost pounds already on the tour, but his cri de coeur has been answered. An emergency shipment of his two favourites among the 57 varieties has been dispatched by the manufacturers.
Soon the spaghetti or beans on toast he craves will be his for the asking.
