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.

Llansantffraid took the Welsh Cup back to their Powys village (population 954) after a penalty shoot-out victory over the full-time professionals of Barry Town in yesterday's final at Cardiff Arms Park.

The Saints goalkeeper, Andy Mulliner, saved two spot kicks in his side's 3-2 shoot-out win over the League of Wales champions, who will play in next season's Uefa Cup while Llansantffraid enter the Cup-Winners' Cup.

Barry were behind three times in a thrilling final: Tommy Morgan, Gary Evans and Chris Whelan were the Saints' scorers but Barry hit back each time through Gary Lloyd, a Mike Brown own goal and Tony Bird, who struck two minutes from the end of extra time to set up the shoot-out.
