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.English clubs had to take second place to the Dutch in the European Cup-Winners' Cup finals in the Netherlands yesterday. In Laren, Canterbury equalised after being 2-0 down, with goals from Francis Houslop and Jenny Wilson, before losing 3-2 to the host club, the winner coming in the 69th minute.
In the men's competition, Cannock were denied the gold medal when they were beaten in a penalty shoot-out 4-2 by Oranje Zwart in Eindhoven after a 2-2 draw at the end of normal time.
Cannock, after going a goal behind on the stroke of half-time to a Xavier Reckinger penalty corner conversion, fought back with great courage.
Two corner goals from Simon Ramsden inside five minutes midway through the second half put them within a minute of taking the title when Teun Rohof equalised to force the shoot-out.
