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.Sol Campbell's clash with Eric Djemba-Djemba in last Sunday's Community Shield has been referred to the Football Association's video advisory panel.
Television replays caught the Arsenal defender kicking out at the Cameroon midfielder, who was spoken to by the referee, Steve Bennett, for a raised boot which hit Campbell in the chest. Djemba-Djemba will not face any further censure as Bennett confirmed that he dealt with his challenge, meaning it is now outside the remit of the video advisory panel.
The Blackburn manager, Graeme Souness, said he made an unsuccessful inquiry for the Rangers captain, Barry Ferguson. The 25-year-old is Rangers' most prized asset and Rovers have money to spend following the summer sales of David Dunn and Damien Duff.
Rangers have huge financial problems but the club's honorary chairman, David Murray, said that the player would not be allowed to leave.
