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.

Peter Reid, the Sunderland manager, has dispensed with the services of his chief coach Trevor Hartley and the reserve team coach Ian Ross. He has already appointed his former Everton colleague Paul Bracewell as his assistant.

Ronny Rosenthal, the Tottenham striker, has withdrawn from the Israel squad for their European Championship Group One qualifier against Romania in Bucharest on 7 June with a leg injury.

Barnet and Hartlepool were yesterday given a three-year deadline to upgrade their grounds or face expulsion from the Football League. By 1998, all Football League grounds must accommodate a minimum 6,000 spectators with 2,000 seats. Barnet fail on both criteria while Hartlepool's capacity at their Victoria Ground has dipped below 6,000. Other clubs who must install extra seats include Colchester, Darlington, Bristol Rovers, Wigan, Wycombe, Rochdale, Gillingham and Doncaster.
