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.London Towers must capitalise on the absence of Verona's leading scorer Mike Iuzzolino at Wembley Court tonight to press their claims for a top- four finish in their European Cup group and a place in the knock-out stage.
London suffered two defeats in their first five games, but a weakened Verona are ideal opponents to begin the second half of their fixtures. Iuzzolino, the former Dallas Maverick, was injured in Verona's last Italian League fixture.
Towers lost 76-48 against Verona in their opening group game without the injured England internationals Karl Brown and 6ft 10in Neville Austin. Victory tonight and in their two other home games, against Tbilisi of Georgia and Yugoslavia's Podgorica, will assure a top-four finish and ease the pressure for away games in Turkey and Hungary.
NATIONAL CUP Quarter-finals: Friday 15 November: Sheffield v Leicester; London Towers v Manchester; Newcastle v Birmingham. Saturday 16 November: Thames Valley v London Leopards.
