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.

A jury of eight men and four women was yesterday selected to hear the retrial of three soccer stars who face match-fixing allegations.

The jury will be sworn in at Winchester Crown Court where footballers Bruce Grobbelaar, 39, the former Liverpool and Southampton goalkeeper, seen here arriving at court; John Fashanu, 34, the former Aston Villa and Wimbledon striker; and Hans Segers, 35, the ex-Wimbledon keeper, along with the Malaysian businessman, Heng Suan Lim, are accused of conspiracy to give and accept corrupt payments. The four defendants deny the allegations.
