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.

Kenyan captain Jimmy Kamande called for a fitting send-off for veteran Steve Tikolo in his final match. But Tikolo mustered only 10 as Kenya were bowled out for 147, chasing Zimbabwe's 308. Touchingly, after his dismissal, Zimbabwe's players shook Tikolo's hand and he left to a standing ovation, fighting tears.

Ponting on edge

Australia's run of 34 World Cup wins ended on Saturday with loss to Pakistan. They passed Australia's 176 with four wickets and nine overs to spare. Ricky Ponting failed again, and refused to walk after his edge wasn't spotted. "I knew I hit it but I wait for the umpire to give me out," he said. "That's the way I've always played."
