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.

QPR have agreed a fee with Sunderland for defender Anton Ferdinand, Press Association Sport understands.

The 26-year-old will undergo a medical and discuss personal terms with the Barclays Premier League newcomers in London this afternoon.

Ferdinand, the younger brother of Manchester United and England centre-back Rio, moved to the north-east for a reported fee of about £8million three years ago from West Ham.
