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.

Gary McCutcheon, the Kilmarnock forward, has signed a new three- year contract with the Scottish Premier League side.

Uefa yesterday rejected an appeal by Roma, the Serie A club, against a fine of SFr50,000 (pounds 21,000), handed out for crowd disturbances during the team's Uefa Cup match against Atletico Madrid on 16 March, and increased the fine to SFr75,000.

The Argentinian Carlos Aimar resigned yesterday as Tenerife coach after joining the Spanish club in late December. His arrival made little difference as Tenerife lie in 19th place in the 20-team first division and are poised for automatic relegation, four points adrift from a play-off position with six games to play.
