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.

Adriano will be in Internazionale's squad for today's big match against Juventus after missing last week's 2-0 win at Palermo because of influenza and being dropped by their Jose Mourinho for the four previous games because of indiscipline.

The striker had warned that he would leave the Serie A champions if he did not get regular action after scoring in Brazil's 6-2 win over Portugal on Wednesday. "All the players who are available will be called up," Mourinho said yesterday. "I'm in absolute agreement with what he [Adriano] said. Every footballer always wants to play and if he does not he has to think about changing." The league leaders will be without suspended defender Ivan Cordoba for the showdown.

Juve coach Claudio Ranieri has ended speculation that Gianluigi Buffon is on his way to Manchester City after Italian media reported the Premier League club have prepared a €75m (£63.4m) bid for the Italy keeper, who is expected to be out until January with a leg injury.
