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 Russian Football Union cannot afford to pay the wages of national team boss Fabio Capello, according to a member of the governing body's executive committee.
Sergey Stepashin was quoted as telling Russia's Interfax news agency that the organisation did not have enough money to pay the Italian.
"I declare that the Russian Football Union does not have enough money to pay Capello's salary," Stepashin said.
"When we signed a contract with him, we should have thought about how to fund it. Today we need to find these financial sources."
Capello has not been paid for five months, according to reports in Russia, with his salary a reported £7million a year.
The former England boss has been in the post since 2012 and saw his side knocked out at the group stage at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The 68-year-old is under contract until the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
