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.The German Football Association were today facing a second fine for the behaviour of Germany fans at the European Championship.
UEFA today announced they had were taking action against the DFB for the "improper conduct" of their supporters during Sunday's 2-1 Group B win over Denmark.
The disciplinary proceedings were for the "display of inappropriate banners and symbols, and inappropriate chanting", but UEFA refused to confirm if any of those were racist in nature.
The DFB was also charged with the setting-off of fireworks, having already been fined 10,000 euros (just over £8,000) after their fans threw screwed up pieces of paper at Portugal players during their opening match.
UEFA's Control and Disciplinary Body will deal with the latest case on Saturday.
