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.

Reading have a testing weekend ahead as the Premier League stages back-to-back fixtures to allow for postponements when England go to Cairo at the end of the month.

The defending champions, who started the season with an emphatic victory over newly promoted Doncaster, visit Canterbury this afternoon and entertain Old Loughtonians tomorrow.

They welcome back the New Zealander Karl Sanders and the England international Mark Pearn, who was rested last week after playing in the World Junior Cup.

Reading have registered the Canadian international Tobin Seagal, while Old Loughtonians, who hope to have their captain, Ian Morrison, back following a hand injury, have also turned to the Maple Leaf with the signings of John Mackinon and Glen Prebble.

Teddington will be coming home to the pitch they used for their home games last season when they visit Hounslow this afternoon. They play Southgate away at their new ground at Trent Park on Sunday.
