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.

Co-hosts Japan have been knocked out of the World Cup after losing 1-0 to Turkey in the second round.

Turkey's winner came after just 12 minutes of the first half when Umit Davala took advantage of poor marking and uncertain goalkeeping to head in from a corner.

Japan enjoyed some good pressure throughout the match, but were unable to break down the stubborn Turkish defence. Turkey will now go on to face Senegal in the quarter-finals.
