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.

VALENCIA, who took over at the top of the Spanish league at the weekend, were swept out of the Uefa Cup by a deluge of goals as Karlsruhe beat them 7-0 to win last night's second-round tie 8-3 on aggregate. They protected their 3-1 advantage from the first leg for half an hour before Edgar Schmitt scored the first of his four goals.

In the same competition, Atletico Madrid took a 1-0 lead to Crete where they were bounced out by OFI. Nikos Mahlas was involved in both second-half goals in the Cretans' 2-0 win, scoring the first and earning the penalty with which George Tsifoutis struck the decisive blow.
