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.In true Pakistan fashion the lifetime ban from the national team inflicted upon Younus Khan was lifted yesterday.
Younus was excluded from international action for indiscipline during the winter tour of Australia, but has now been included in the squad for the one-day series against South Africa, to be played in the UAE. He will replace Mohammad Yousuf, who himself had a lifetime ban lifted so he could face England during the summer, after he withdrew due to injury.
The Pakistan Cricket Board, meanwhile, has stopped Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir from using any of the Board's facilities, including training at the National Cricket Academy while they remain banned. The PCB said that the decision was taken under the ICC anti-corruption code.
