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.

JEAN-PIERRE PAPIN is tipped for a return to Marseille or a future in Japan's J League after again being omitted from Milan's line-up, this time for tonight's European Champions' League tie against Werder Bremen at the San Siro, writes Clive White.

The Montenegrin midfielder, Dejan Savicevic, who made all the goals in the 3-0 win over Porto in November, is preferred to Papin. Another top striker who may find himself the odd foreigner out is Brazil's Romario, for Barcelona's tie away to Spartak Moscow.
