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.

Raymond Domenech has been given the green light to continue as France coach.

Domenech's position has been under heavy scrutiny following his team's poor showing at Euro 2008, where they finished bottom of their group, and an inauspicious start to their 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign.

But following today's meeting of the French Football Federation's federal council, he has been told he will remain in his post.

FFF president Jean-Pierre Escalettes confirmed the decision at the federation's headquarters in central Paris, with Domenech's mandate now being to qualify for the World Cup in South Africa.
