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.

West Bromwich Albion have held a second round of talks with the former Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri about becoming Roy Hodgson's successor at the club.

The Italian, sacked by Internazionale in March after barely six months in charge, met with the Albion chairman, Jeremy Peace, and sporting and technical director, Dan Ashworth, on Thursday in London. Ranieri would not cost West Brom any compensation as he is out of work.

However, the club stresses there are other names still in frame for the job. Albion have made contact with Ray Wilkins, while the Birmingham manager, Chris Hughton, is high on the list of the candidates who appeal to Peace. No formal approach has yet been made to the Blues.
