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.

The Indian cricket board has altered England's tour itinerary and dropped the lone warmup game.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India says the opening test match will now be played from 11-15 December in the southern city of Chennai. The northern Indian city of Mohali will stage the second test from 19-23 December.

Chennai was chosen as the alternative venue in place of Mumbai, where last week's terrorist attacks killed at least 172 people. On Monday, the Indian board also changed the venue of the other test match from Ahmadabad, which was earlier supposed to host the opening test.

Indian cricket board secretary N. Srinivasan says the lone warmup game from 5-7 December was dropped from the schedule.
