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.

Fulham will appoint the 57-year-old Ray Wilkins today as assistant to Rene Meulensteen after the club’s 6-0 defeat to Hull. It is the second English name brought in by the club since the appointment of Meulensteen as manager last month. Last week they hired former Charlton and West Ham manager Alan Curbishley as technical director

Wilkins, who was briefly manager at Craven Cottage in 1997, last worked as Carlo Ancelotti’s assistant at Chelsea – he left in December 2010.

It is hoped that, along with Curbishley, Wilkins’ knowledge of English football will help strengthen the squad in January.
