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.

Aberdeen secured a comfortable enough 3-1 victory over Barry Town in the first leg of their Uefa Cup first-round tie at Pittodrie last night, but not before being given a fright.

They looked likely to take command when they went ahead after only seven minutes through their leading scorer, Dean Windass. However, the League of Wales champions hit back only six minutes later with a fine goal by Richard Jones. After the interval Barry began to tire and Aberdeen secured their victory with goals from Mark Ovendale and Stephen Glass.
