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.

Brian Kidd has returned to Manchester City as technical development manager at the club's academy.

His brief will be to coach both the talented youngsters coming through Platt Lane and also head up the in-service training of the staff.

Kidd spent last season at Portsmouth, where along with Paul Hart they kept the club in the Barclays Premier League following the departure of Tony Adams.

City's football administration officer Brian Marwood said: "Brian has vast experience at both club and international level.

"He will help maintain the excellent development programme we have in place at the academy," stressed Marwood.

"He was much in demand when it became clear he wasn't going to stay at Portsmouth and we are delighted that Brian has chosen to come and work with us."
