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.

The Wales captain, Aaron Ramsey, will miss tomorrow's Gary Speed Memorial Match against Costa Rica, due to an ankle injury. The 21-year-old Arsenal midfielder led Wales to four wins in five games before Speed's death in November.

Ramsey has failed to recover from an injury he picked up in the Gunners' FA Cup defeat against Sunderland. He will be present to pay his respects to the former Wales manager.

The only other fitness doubt is goalkeeper Boaz Myhill, who has an Achilles injury.

Papiss Cissé will miss Senegal's friendly with South Africa tomorrow because of injury. The forward is thus a doubt for Newcastle against Sunderland on Sunday.
