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.England took part in a scheduled training session at London Colney this morning despite their friendly match against Holland tomorrow night being called off following riots in the capital over the last three nights.
All 23 remaining members of Fabio Capello's squad were present, although Danny Welbeck jogged onto the pitch later than his other team-mates.
Welbeck had suffered an ankle knock playing for Manchester United against Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday.
The squad are due to have lunch at their Hertfordshire base and are then expected to return to their clubs, although this has still to be officially confirmed.
The cancellation of the Holland match is a blow to Capello's hopes of preparing for next month's Euro 2012 qualifiers away to Bulgaria and home to Wales.
