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.Derby have taken the Italian midfielder Alessandro Orlando on trial for two days. The Udinese player will join fellow Italians Stefano Eranio and Francesco Baiano. Orlando, 27, made 17 appearances in Serie A last season but he has been unable to hold down a regular first-team place this season.
Queen's Park Rangers have signed Blackburn's reserve goalkeeper Tony Williams on loan for one month. The 20-year-old comes in as cover for Lee Harper because Tony Roberts is out for the season with a hand injury and Jurgen Sommer has returned to the United States.
The former athlete Pietro Mennea has taken over as director-general of the Italian Serie B side Salernitana. Mennea, who held the world 200 metres record for 17 years, will be responsible for the club's media relations.
