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.Liverpool were rightly beaten by FC Basel on Wednesday night after a poor performance at St Jakob-Park.
Mario Balotelli had just one shot on goal and no touches in the box but at least tried to make something happen for the Reds.
Brendan Rodgers criticised his team's 'poor' defending after the match and Martin Skrtel and Dejan Lovren again struggled to form a solid partnership.
In midfield Jordan Henderson tried without much success, while Steven Gerrard was arguably Liverpool's best performer, though he looks in desperate need of a rest.
Raheem Sterling had probably his worst game of the season, while Philippe Coutinho and Lazar Markovic too often drifted in and out of the game.
