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.Faustino Asprilla, Newcastle United's Colombian international, admitted yesterday he is unhappy with his limited first-team opportunities and is discussing options with his agent.
"I left Parma for Newcastle with the idea of being champion, but now I am just a substitute at any position," Asprilla said in an interview in Bogota. "We'll see what happens, but I am not happy at Newcastle," he added.
The Blackburn Rovers chairman, Robert Coar, yesterday denied that their goalkeeper, Tim Flowers, was about to move to Newcastle for pounds 4m. "There is simply no truth in this story whatsoever," Coar said. Rovers' Colin Hendry intends to be playing again by early next month after minor surgery on a groin strain.
Mark Guterman, the Chester City chairman, last night dismissed rumours of personal financial problems and reiterated his desire to lead a pounds 35m bid for Manchester City. "There appears to be a negative rumour about me which is finding its way into the media," the 36-year-old property tycoon said in response to the speculation.
