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.

Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba was tonight waiting to hear from FIFA whether or not he will be allowed to play against Portugal tomorrow afternoon wearing a protective cast.

The Chelsea frontman trained with his team-mates at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium this evening as manager Sven-Goran Eriksson revealed he was waiting to hear from officials if Drogba can wear a lightweight dressing on his fractured arm.

Eriksson said: "There has been a FIFA meeting today and the people haven't come back yet. We will know later."
