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.Brian Lara, the West Indian whose tongue hits as hard as his bat, got off lightly with a written reprimand for two incidents during the World Cup.
"Any future breach of contract will attract the strongest condemnation and action," the West Indies Cricket Board of Control said in a statement issued by its secretary, Andrew Sealy. Lara, the former Warwick shire player, had twice prompted "unsatisfactory reports", the statement said of the outbursts during the competition in February and March.
Lara made remarks in the Kenyan dressing room after a humiliating loss to the side, allegedly saying it was worse losing to the all-white South Afri- can team in the 1992 World Cup. Then came alleged slurs aimed at the team's Australian-born physiotherapist, Dennis Waight, on the flight from Bombay to London after the tournament.
