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.MOVES to persuade Bernard Gallacher to rescind his resignation as captain of the European Ryder Cup team are expected to gather momentum today when the cup committee convenes in London.
Gallacher, who led the last two European campaigns, resigned before September's defeat at The Belfry but has since hinted he might continue 'if it was felt that it was in the best interests of the team'. Many players feel just that, but should Gallacher stick to his guns, the field appears open.
Tony Jacklin, the Scot's resoundingly successful predecessor, has volunteered but a recent move to America may rule him out. Peter Oosterhuis, who recently relocated in the opposite direction, has also expressed an interest, while Gallacher's assistant, Manuel Pinero, could fill the breach before the anticipated advent of Seve Ballesteros for the 1997 match in Spain. At The Belfry, Ballesteros himself touted Nick Faldo and Sam Torrance.
Faldo said yesterday that his arm injury would not prevent his participation in next week's Million Dollar Challenge in Sun City.
