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.CHARLES BIETRY, the president of struggling Paris Saint-Germain, resigned yesterday. Reeling from a string of disastrous results, PSG, France's richest club, are in 11th place in the First Division, 22 points behind the leaders, Marseilles.
The club have been in crisis since Bietry, a former sports journalist, took over prior to the season. After a string of poor results, including a defeat by Israel's Maccabi Haifa in the European Cup-Winners' Cup, the coach, Alain Giresse, was fired. But results have not improved since Bietry reappointed Artur Jorge as the coach. On Saturday, they were beaten 2- 0 by little Lorient and, to add insult to injury, the former PSG hero Patrice Loko hit both goals.
