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.England were in for a prolonged stay in Italy following Tuesday night's 1-1 friendly draw after their flight was held up due to a "technical issue".
Andros Townsend came off the bench to rescue the Three Lions from defeat with a stunning strike in Turin after Graziano Pelle had netted the opener for the hosts at the Juventus Stadium.
But, after the match, news of the stricken plane became apparent with the England squad now due to return home on Wednesday.
England manager Roy Hodgson said: "We only know it's a technical issue. That is all we know so that has put the flight tonight out of the question.
"We hope to leave relatively early in the morning."
