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.

Twins Peter and Paul Deppisch stage a shoot-out at Wembley tomorrow when the London Towers try to bounce back against the Manchester Giants following their midweek defeat in the European Cup, writes Duncan Hooper.

The Giants this week signed Peter who, like Paul, is 6ft 6in and also a long-range three-point specialist shooter.

Paul totalled 16 three-pointers in London's two wins in the Budweiser League last weekend. But he found Verona's defence a stiffer proposition in Italy in midweek and scored just once from 10 attempts as London lost 78-48 in their opening Cup game.

Steve McGlothin brings Derby Storm's North American complement to five tonight when he makes his debut against Hemel and Watford Royals alongside Rod Gregwoire, Jimmy Ratliff, Dion Harper and Canadian Curtis Robinson.

London Leopards are waiting for work permit clearance on their fourth American, Tim Davies, for tomorrow's game against Newcastle Comets who include the ex-Leopards, Greg Modzelewski and Chris Fite.
