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.

KEN ROBINSON, the New Zealand centre-forward, makes his debut for Reading in matches today at Beeston and at home to Guildford tomorrow.

A delighted Reading coach, Andy Barnes, said yesterday: "Ken will give us aggression and hopefully solve our problem of getting the ball in the net." Reading will be without Simon Mason this afternoon, as he is running an English Hockey Association coaching course.

Another international will be making his first League appearance for Southgate - Trinidad's captain, Kwandwane Browne.

To make way for Browne, Southgate have had to de-register South African international Craig Carolan to keep their quota of overseas players at the permitted three. Carolan, already approached by East Grinstead, is certain to become the target of quite a few clubs.

Duncan Woods returns for Southgate after a two-week suspension from coach Neil Hawgood, following a difference of views. Leaders Canterbury entertain pointless Brooklands.
