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.A change of country and a change of career could spell the end of David Ginola's time at Newcastle United.
This season could be the Frenchman's last in the Premiership - should he swap flying down the wing for charging round a race track.
The 29-year-old winger, who is the star of a new television advertisement for Renault entitled "Ginola Stays", said yesterday: "You should not read too much into the commercial's slogan, because you never know what might happen at the end of the season.
"It is not easy to come to another country and work, because you miss your family and friends and your normal way of life," he added. "Sometimes I miss home - and I feel for the Brazilians at Middlesbrough because it is not easy."
Ginola is also involved in talks with Renault about racing in next year's British Touring Car Championship, and is to test drive a car next week with the leading Swiss sports car racer, Alain Menu.
"I love motor racing and I want to do some pro driving, but it depends on getting the go-ahead from Newcastle because of their insurance policy on me," Ginola said.
