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.

It is arguably the most iconic kit in sport, a combination of three colours that is synonymous with beauty, skill and success.

Those three colours are of course the yellow, blue and white that make up the strip of Brazil - the five time World Cup winners who next summer will be looking to win the tournament on home soil.

The strip will please purists, with a classic design chosen to adorn potential heroes Neymar, David Luiz and Oscar. However, there was one element that irked manager Luiz Felipe Scolari.

"The shirt looks great, the only thing missing is a sixth star," he said. "We aim to have that on there after the World Cup."
