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.Nigel Clough, who is in the middle of a one-month loan spell at Nottingham Forest, wants to make his return to the City Ground permanent. Clough was signed from Manchester City on a temporary basis in the first move by Stuart Pearce in his role as Forest's caretaker player-manager after taking over from Frank Clark.
Meanwhile, Pearce has opened talks aimed at securing the long-term future of the midfielder Alf Inge Haland at the City Ground. The Norwegian, whose current deal ends in the summer, has been the subject of an inquiry - though not a formal bid - from Leeds. Manchester United have also been linked with the player.
Gary Breen, Birmingham City's highly rated central defender, is likely to be out of action for a month after an incident outside a London restaurant. The Republic of Ireland international needed stitches in a head wound and suffered a broken hand.
Italian newspapers have reported that Roberto Baggio, the Milan striker, has lost up to six billion lire (pounds 2.35m) in an alleged investment scandal. Baggio was one of at least 200 people - reported to include a number of footballers - who placed money in a finance company based in the Adriatic resort of Rimini.
