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.PAUL GASCOIGNE was voted man of the match by television viewers and given a yellow card by the referee yesterday when he returned to play football for Middlesbrough just a week after checking out of the clinic where he had been receiving treatment for his alcohol and stress problems.
More than 34,000 supporters welcomed back the prodigal player whose rapid return to the game has surprised many after his binges and bad behaviour ended in tears at a Hertfordshire railway station last month.
Gascoigne, who was substituted 12 minutes from the end of the match with Nottingham Forest, was reasonably happy with his performance. "I have a bit more work to do at the clinic. I have to go there twice a week for the next month. Hopefully I won't be drinking, in fact definitely."
The match ended in a 1-1 draw.
