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.BRYAN ROBSON wants more of the same from his side after the 6-0 win over Swindon in midweek. The Middlesbrough manager hopes his side can re-establish themselves as the best away side in the First Division at Portsmouth today after conceding nine goals and scoring none in their last two matches on the road.
"I was pleased with our overall performance against Swindon in midweek particularly after two bad defeats and nine goals against," Robson said. "We have now got to get back to being the best away team in the First Division."
The Teessiders' rivals for the title, Nottingham Forest, will be aiming to stop Bury's revival at the City Ground. Bury are unbeaten in nine games but Forest want revenge after their defeat at Gigg Lane in November.
From today until the end of the season, referees will indicate to the fourth official how much stoppage time will be played at the end of each half in all Nationwide League games. He will then hold up a board to indicate the minimum amount of time that will be added. The system, which was pioneered in Italy, will also be used in the play-off finals and the Coca-Cola Cup final between Chelsea and Middlesbrough.
