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.

Andy Flower is confident he will have no further problems with Kevin Pietersen after an apology from the batsman for his part in the recent falling-out.

The England coach brought Pietersen back into the squad for the tour to India and has been reassured by the early signs after they restarted their working relationship in Mumbai.

Flower said: "Kevin is coming back after a few problems that we had. I'm confident we will work together well from now on."

Pietersen, who has 88 Test caps to his name, apologised for his conduct in the row with the England management and signed a new central contract, initially for four months, but Flower cannot see any reason why that would not be lengthened.

Flower said: "I haven't thought much about the extension of his contract. We are focusing on playing well in India. I don't envisage a problem. We can work well together and we've already started. We've had some great success and some great times over the last few years."
