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.

Calum Giles, with less than a minute on the pitch, settled the game for Great Britain as they beat Malaysia 1-0 at Bisham Abbey yesterday, writes Brian Tatlock. The game was the first of a two-Test series before the teams depart for Barcelona and the start of the Olympic Qualifying tournament next Friday. Giles, Britain's penalty corner specialist, came on the pitch twice during the game: first in the ninth minute, when John Shaw failed to stop the ball for him to strike, and then in the 29th minute when his low drag shot beat the goalkeeper Nadarajan Marathumuthu for the solitary goal.
