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.

Gérard Houllier, the Liverpool manager, is thrilled at the way Harry Kewell has settled in following his £5m move from Leeds United.

Kewell is due to make his first appearance at Anfield on Saturday against Valencia after opening his account in a friendly at Aberdeen.

"First of all Harry mixes well with the boys and has a good attitude and good mentality," Houllier said. "He's getting into his best shape now. He's a good team player - that's what I like about him. If you're a star player you can be a star, but you must be a team player.

"He's not the kind of player who plays for his ego or for glory. Also I like the way he works for the team - his work-rate in all the friendlies has been phenomenal."
