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.

PSG forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic is regarded as one the best players in the world, and he now has his own search engine, over on zlaaatan.com.

The search engine, works (and looks) exactly like Google, but every search will automatically link in the word Zlatan too.

Like Google, there is a "I'm feeling lucky" section, though this one is simply "I'm feeling Zlatan". This button, however, takes you straight to the mercurial Swedish striker's wikipedia page.

Since its launch last Thursday, the Zlatan search has been used by over 100,000 people worldwide.

"Our search engine is linked to Google but all searches are Zlatan-related," Andreas Killander, creative director at SweetPop, explained to L'Equipe.

"If you type Ferrari you find information on the Ferrari Zlatan. If you are looking recipe, you have Zlatan Burger. Zlatan is an idol. He is known to the world, which is why we chose him.

"We did not ask him for his permission, but we hope that he will see it as a fun experience."
