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.

Steve Bruce, the Manchester United captain, is almost certain to miss both his team's matches over Easter, against Manchester City and Coventry.

Bruce missed the FA Cup semi-final with a hamstring injury and Alex Ferguson, the Manchester United manager, has all but ruled him out of the matches on Saturday and Monday. "We will have a look at Steve this week, but it looks as if he will be ready for the game at Southampton [on Saturday week]," Ferguson said.

Brian Little, the Aston Villa manager, his assistant Allan Evans and coach John Gregory have all signed new three-and-a-half year contracts. Little has been given a pounds 1,000 per-week pay rise, making his new deal worth almost pounds 1m including bonuses.
