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.Liverpool defender Daniel Agger is close to signing a new contract with the Premier League club, manager Rafa Benitez said today.
The 24-year-old Denmark international, who has one season left on his existing deal, had been linked with a move from Anfield.
"It is very close," Benitez said. "We are just waiting on the small details but it is nearly done. We have to wait a little bit longer but we are very close.
"He is very happy here and I have always supported him. Hopefully it will be done."
Liverpool recently completed new deals with Steven Gerrard and Dirk Kuyt, while verbal agreements have been made with youngsters Nathan Ecclestone, Peter Gulacsi, Krisztian Nemeth and Nabil El Zhar.
