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.

The Birmingham City owner, David Sullivan, has given the Football Association his backing should they choose to ban the club's fans from away games following violent scenes at the end of Saturday's First Division game at Manchester City.

"If they are not careful, we won't have a club in Birmingham and the ground will be shut down," Sullivan said.

The Wimbledon manager, Joe Kinnear, yesterday insisted he wants to keep Dean Holdsworth even though the pounds 5m-rated striker is still on the transfer list, and has once again been linked with Everton. The Leicester City striker, Mark Robins, has put in a transfer request.

The elimination of the holders, Bayern Munich, from the Uefa Cup last night is bound to increase speculation that their former Spurs striker, Jurgen Klinsmann, is poised for a return to English football. Klinsmann missed a penalty in the 1-0 defeat of Valencia, a result that left the Spanish team 3-1 aggregate winners.
