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 International Cricket Council has opened an investigation into alleged spot-fixing by a Kenya player at last year's World Cup. It is understood Kenya's pool match against Pakistan in Hambantota is under suspicion.

Kenya bowled 37 wides during the match – equalling the record for the number of wides in a one-day international – on the way to a 205-run defeat. Tom Sears, Cricket Kenya's chief executive, confirmed that the ruling body was aware of an investigation.
