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.Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif may learn today if they face punishment for alleged spot-fixing. If they are found guilty, the ultimate sanction is a life ban. The three Pakistan players, who are alleged to have delivered no-balls to order in a Test against England at Lord's last August, have spent the last six days before a full hearing of an independent Anti-Corruption Tribunal in Doha. It is due to conclude today.
The trio were all charged with various offences under Article 2 of the International Cricket Council's Anti-Corruption Code. They deny wrongdoing, but have been suspended since the allegations came to light after the Test.
A verdict will end a scandal that began when the News of the World claimed that businessman Mazhar Majeed took £150,000 to arrange for the three players to bowl no-balls.
