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.Andy Murray's press conference after his victory over Tomas Berdych was interrupted when Sir Sean Connery, who had been watching the match, entered the room. He then ushered in Sir Alex Ferguson, the Manchester United manager, and Judy, Andy Murray's mother. The following conversation ensued.
Connery: "Excuse me for interrupting, but I just wanted to make a point. Where's Alex? [Applause as Ferguson enters interview room]. I don't know where your mother is. There she is."
Andy Murray: "Thank you very much for coming. Are you going to be around tomorrow?"
Connery: "Come on, Judy. Judy, Judy, Judy."
Andy Murray [embracing his mother]: "You smell of wine."
Judy Murray [pointing at Ferguson]: "He made me have wine. He's just been telling me that Scotland invented the world."
Ferguson: "I've been coming here the last three years to New York and I explained how Scotland invented the world. Today we invented the wind."
Connery: "Today they conquered the world."
Ferguson: "Very good. Fantastic."
Andy Murray: "See you after the match tomorrow."
Ferguson: "Continue your interview."
