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 French First Division side Sochaux have signed Dynamo Kiev's Ukrainian international, Pavel Yakovenko. The former Soviet World Cup player could make his debut against Montpellier on Saturday.

MARCO VAN BASTEN suffered a calf- muscle injury in training yesterday, forcing Dick Advocaat, the Netherland's coach, to call up at short notice Erik Meijer, the Maastricht striker, for the World Cup Group Two qualifier against Turkey today.

MEXICO'S coach, the Argentine Cesar Luis Menotti, resigned yesterday, saying he had not been able to unite Mexican football as he would have wished. Under his guidance, the Mexican team finished at the head of the Concacaf Zone Group A for the 1994 World Cup finals.
