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.

The German Bundesliga side 1860 Munich have signed the Ghanaian striker Abedi Pele on a free transfer from Torino in an attempt to solve a forward crisis.

Pele, 33, a member of Olympique Marseille's 1993 European Cup winning team, is intended to replace 1860's top striker Olaf Bodden, who is sidelined with a viral infection.

"We want him to do what he does best," said the 1860 trainer, Werner Lorant. "He can dribble, stay on the ball, he's quick, he has a good eye and he can pass. He can set up goals and he can score them."
