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.

THE SPONSORS of the Worthington Cup have defended the competition in the light of "weakened teams". The bigger sides used their ties to field new, young players on Wednesday, but a Bass spokesman was bullish.

"In some respects, it is interesting to see the youngsters coming through," he said. "If you look back, the likes of Robbie Fowler have made their debuts in the tournament."

WORTHINGTON CUP Fourth-round draw: Leicester v Leeds; Liverpool v Tottenham; Manchester Utd v Nottingham Forest; Luton v Barnsley; Arsenal v Chelsea; Everton v Sunderland; Newcastle v Blackburn; Bolton v Wimbledon. (Ties to be played 10 or 11 November).
