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.

TEAM NEWS
ITALY: With Alessandro Del Piero not yet fit and Fabrizio Ravanelli on a plane home, Roberto Baggio and Christian Vieri will play up front for Italy. Coach Cesare Maldini must choose between the adventurous Francesco Moriero or the more defensive Angelo Di Livio for the right wing-back role. The former is the favourite.
CHILE: Ivan Zamorano has fully recovered from a minor knee injury picked up in training and will take his place alongside Marcelo Salas in attack.
