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.

ABEL BALBO, Roma's Argentinian striker, could be heading to Stamford Bridge to join Gianluca Vialli's new-look Chelsea side next season. Corriere dello Sport says Roma are ready to sell the 31-year-old former international for pounds 3m.

The Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, said yesterday that although he may buy again this season, especially if Southampton's Kevin Davies and Metz's Robert Pires become available, he is close to the side he wants.

"We do not need much more to make us a very good side," the Frenchman said. "The next two and a half months will really show how good we are."
