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.

DARREN ANDERTON has come to the England coach Glenn Hoddle's aid by praising the faith healer, Eileen Drewery, for helping his latest recovery from injury.

Hoddle's use of Drewery has caused concern among Football Association officials, but she has received unqualified praise from Anderton, who attributes his early recovery from a knee injury to her healing methods.

"I saw Eileen a couple of times after the injury and that helped," he said. "I am very happy. I thought it would be another long one but I was back in two-and-a-half weeks."

Bobby Gould yesterday included Robbie Savage in his squad for Wales' European Championship qualifiers in Denmark on 10 October and at home to Belarus on 14 October.

The Leicester midfielder has been forgiven for his indiscretions prior to the game against Italy earlier this month, when he upset his manager by making allegedly abusive remarks about the Italians in a television interview.

WALES SQUAD: P Jones (Southampton), Ward (Notts County), Crossley (Nottingham Forest); Symons (Fulham), Williams (Wolves), Coleman (Fulham), Barnard (Barnsley), Melville (Sunderland), Johnson (Nottingham Forest), Hughes (Southampton), Speed (Newcastle), Savage (Leicester), Pembridge (Benfica), Blake (Bolton), Giggs (Manchester Utd), Robinson (Charlton), Saunders (Sheffield Utd), Hartson (West Ham), Roberts (Norwich), Trollope (Fulham).
