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.

Patrick Kluivert, the former Ajax striker who will play for Milan next season, will not be prosecuted for taking part in an alleged gang rape. Kluivert, 20, was accused by a woman of forcing her into group sex. Kluivert and three friends allegedly picked up the woman on 10 May outside an Amsterdam nightclub. But the 20-year-old woman, who was not named in line with Dutch privacy laws, admitted to police she had consented to go back with the four men to Kluivert's apartment and that she had been drinking.

Colin Murphy, the former Lincoln City, Notts County and Southend United manager, is to become the coach of the Vietnamese national side.

Bristol City have paid pounds 350,000 for the Doncaster Rovers striker, Colin Cramb.

The former Tottenham defender Gheorghe Popescu has left Barcelona for the Turkish champions, Galatasaray, where he joins his fellow Romanians Gheorghe Hagi, Iulian Filipescu and Adrian Ilie.

The Republic of Ireland's attempt to take third place in the World Youth Cup in the play-off against Ghana in Malaysia today has hit a late snag after Stephen Murphy of Huddersfield and Peterborough's Niall Inman suffered foot injuries and had to pull out of Kerr's last training session yesterday. Inman should be fit to take his place in midfield but Murphy may not even be able to fill the role of substitute.
