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.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a dubious penalty as 10-man Internazionale beat second-from-bottom Empoli 1-0 yesterday to pull eight points clear at the top of Serie A.

Inter took the lead at the San Siro in the 34th minute with a spot- kick conceded for hand-ball by Ighli Vannucchi – though television replays suggested the ball hit the midfielder's face.

Brazilian goalkeeper Julio Cesar saved a late Luca Saudati penalty for the champions, who had Patrick Vieira sent off in the 39th minute for swearing when protesting against a yellow card he had just been given. Second-placed Roma stay on 45 points after losing 3-0 at lowly Siena.

Third-placed Juventus trail the leaders by 12 points after being held 1-1 at home by bottom club Cagliari.
