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.ROMA, WHO boast a 100 per cent record so far this season, entertain Juventus in Serie A at the Olympic Stadium tomorrow, extended highlights of which will be screened on Channel 4 tomorrow afternoon.
Roma's four home wins out of four include an amazing, nine-man, 2-1 victory over Fiorentina, the Italian league leaders, and an emphatic 4-0 victory over Udinese, who snatched a late equaliser to deprive Juventus of all three points in Udine last week. The excellent Marco Delvecchio, whose goal knocked Leeds out of the Uefa Cup, and Francesco Totti will lead the line for Roma.
Juventus are in poor shape. They will also be without the striker Alessandro Del Piero, out with knee ligament damage, the playmaker Zinedine Zidane, who limped off after 20 minutes on Wednesday in Juventus' Italian Cup draw at Venezia, the midfielder Didier Deschamps and Nicola Amoruso. Juve may be forced to repeat Wednesday's experiment of using the defenders Ciro Ferrara and Igor Tudor in attack. They will also be without Marcello Lippi, their coach, who is banned from the touchline for yelling at the referee at the end of last Sunday's game.
Other games tomorrow: Empoli v Cagliari, Internazionale v Sampdoria, Parma v Udinese, Piacenza v Fiorentina, Salernitana v Perugia, Venezia v Lazio, Vicenza v Bologna, Tomorrow night: Bari v Milan.
