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.

Kevin Keegan has defended the off-field activities of his Manchester City squad ahead of the Uefa Cup second-round game against Groclin.

Some players went to an Essex nightclub after the Carling Cup win against QPR last week and Robbie Fowler was pictured smoking, but Keegan said: "The players didn't break any club rules, so there is not really a case to answer. There is a vendetta against professional footballers at the moment."

Nicolas Anelka, fit after a calf strain, should play against the Polish side with Paulo Wanchope dropping to the bench. Shaun Wright-Phillips may replace Trevor Sinclair who has a dead leg.
