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.

Manchester United and England star David Beckham is to be examined by a specialist today to determine the extent of an aggravated knee injury.

If surgery is required, he could be out of action for up to six weeks.

Beckham played in England's World Cup qualifier against Germany on Saturday despite a nagging injury to his left knee.

An awkward fall in the second half of the 1-0 loss aggravated the damage.

Club manager Sir Alex Ferguson has said Beckham is "very doubtful" for a Saturday showdown with English Premier League leaders Leicester City.

Surgery could see him miss the rest of the first phase of the Champions League.
