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.Police have retrieved some of the late Ben Hollioake's England cricket equipment stolen from his parents' home in Perth, Australia.
Hollioake's brother, Adam, revealed on Twitter yesterday that thieves had made off with a number of treasured items associated with Ben's tragically short career.
Melbourne-born Hollioake, who died in a car crash in Perth, aged 24 in 2002, won two Test caps and 20 in one-day internationals for England.
Adam, who captained the national side in ODIs, drew attention to the crime and current England stars, Kevin Pietersen and James Anderson were soon among those calling – also via Twitter – for efforts to be made to recover the property.
Western Australia police have since executed a search warrant and recovered some of the kit.
