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.

Welcome to Patrick Barclay's Euro 2012 video diary.

In the latest intalment of the Euro 2012 video diary, Patrick talks exclusively to Michel Platini on the subject of goal-line technology.

Following Ukraine's 'goal' against England last week, the debate has come to the fore once again. Yet the Uefa president firmly opposes its introduction, telling Patrick: "I am totally against".

Platini goes on to tell Patrick that he thinks Fifa and Britain are making "a historical mistake".

Exclusively for The Independent, watch the video above.

Patrick Barclay's Euro 2012 video diary returns tomorrow.
