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.

AUSTRALIA CLINCHED the three-match Test series against England in Brisbane yesterday when they won the final game 3-0 to take the series 2-1.

Although England held the World and Olympic champions to a 1-0 interval lead, Katrina Powell scoring the opening goal in the 16th minute, they succumbed to continuous Australian pressure after the interval, with Louise Dobson scoring from a penalty corner in the 43rd minute and Alyson Annan, returning from injury, adding the third with just five minutes remaining.

England, who were indebted to a string of brave saves from Carolyn Reid during the first-half onslaught, now play New Zealand tomorrow and Korea on Tuesday.
