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.

Southampton striker Rickie Lambert, the top-scoring Englishman in the Premier League this season with 13 goals, has extended his contract by two years until 2016.

"Rickie Lambert is a very special player for Southampton Football club," team manager Mauricio Pochettino told the club's website.

"To have scored over 100 goals is a remarkable achievement, and one which he has made possible thanks to hard work and dedication."
