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.

Uefa will make a decision tomorrow on what action to take following the missile-throwing incident involving Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard at Anfield last night.

Gerrard appeared to be hit by missiles thrown from the Marseille fans' section as he waited to take a corner in the first half of Liverpool's 1-0 victory.

Uefa confirmed the incident will be included in Portuguese referee Olegario Benquerenca's report as well as the report from Uefa delegate Svein Johannessen.

"We will have to view the reports of the referee and the Uefa delegate before we can make a decision," a spokesman told PA Sport today. "This will probably be tomorrow morning."
