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.

FERNANDO REDONDO, Real Madrid's new Argentinian midfielder, could miss eight or more games this season because of a knee injury, club officials said yesterday. Redondo has a partially torn ligament in the left knee following a tackle in a pre-season game on Sunday between Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao.

ROMARIO returned to his Barcelona club yesterday three weeks late. Due to report back on 1 August, Romario ignored the deadline and extended his vacation in Brazil, claiming he was exhausted after the World Cup. Barcelona's coach, Johan Cruyff, has promised exemplary punishment for his player.

TRANSFERS: Neil Young (defender) Tottenham to Port Vale (loan); Gareth Williams (midfielder) Barnsley to Wolves (trial); Doug Dawson (midfielder) Nantwich to Everton (trial).
