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.

Bertie Vogts, the Germany coach, has said his country's most-capped player, Lothar Matthaus, will never play for the national side again after another episode in the player's long-running feud with Jurgen Klinsmann.

After Matthaus, who ruled himself out of Euro 96, repeated his allegations that Klinsmann, his successor as captain, had blocked his return to the side last year after a long injury lay-off, Vogts said: "Working together with him is no longer possible. There will be no comeback after Euro 96."
