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.

Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says the Bundesliga powerhouse will not sign any more young South American players.

Rummenigge tells Sport-Bild weekly that "it makes no sense" and the club will instead expand its scouting at home.

Jose Ernesto Sosa of Argentina and Julio dos Santos of Paraguay flopped at Bayern. Brazilian defender Breno remains with the club but hasn't played much. Breno was also arrested recently over arson allegations at his rented house. He has been released.
