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.

RICHARD LEMAN, England's most capped player, with 228 international appearances, plans to pull down the curtain on a spectacular career, including Olympic gold, at the end of the European Indoor Club Championships here on Sunday, where he will be playing for East Grinstead, the English champions, writes Bill Colwill from Cologne.

Grinstead have avoided Rot Weiss Koln, the host club and European champions, in the pool games. They open the tournament this morning against the Polish champions, Grunwald, and this evening meet White Star from Brussels. In their final pool game tomorrow they face Vienna AC. Scotland's champions, Menzieshill, are in the second pool.

In practice last night the Sussex side looked sharp. It should be within their ability to clinch a semi-final place, with a crack at Rot Weiss's crown in the final a possibility.
