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.Diego Maradona has agreed to stay with Boca Juniors, caving in on his threat to quit if he could not get his own way, club officials said yesterday. ''Diego will see out his contract (until December 1996). We'll have a peaceful Christmas after all, just as I predicted,'' Mauricio Macri, the club president said. Maradona, 35, said last week he was quitting Boca, barely two months after making a comeback after completing a 15- month worldwide ban for drug abuse. The former Argentina captain said he refused to play with the new coach, Carlos Bilardo, under whose direction Maradona inspired Argentina to a World Cup victory in 1986.
The biggest-ever competition for schools in England and Wales, "The New Europe: A Competition for Schools", has been set up by The Football Association and the National Union of Teachers to celebrate next summer's European Championship finals in England. The aim is to help youngsters from the 48 countries who took part in the qualifying process for Euro 96 develop their interest in the game and create more positive attitudes towards people from Europe.
