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.ALAN COOKE failed to regain the Commonwealth title he won in 1989, losing 21-15, 21-17, 21-17 to Johnny Huang, the world No 14 from Canada, in the men's singles final here yesterday, writes James Leigh from Hyderabad.
Huang helped himself to a hat-trick of titles - he won the men's doubles for Canada with Joe Ng and the mixed with Barbara Chiu - and ensured there were ex-Chinese winners of all five individual titles.
The England squad finished with one gold and one silver medal from the team events and one silver and two bronze from the individual events.
