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.

PAUL GASCOIGNE captained Middlesbrough for the first time last night in the absence of the injured Andy Townsend.

The Colombian international Hamilton Ricard scored his fourth goal of the campaign to put Middlesbrough on the way to a 2-0 home win against Wycombe Wanderers in a Worthington Cup second round first leg game. Gianluca Festa added the second goal in the last minute.

Emile Heskey scored twice as the 1997 League Cup winners Leicester City made Premiership class tell against their East Midlands rivals, Chesterfield, with a 3-0 win at Filbert Street. The Northern Ireland centre-half Gerry Taggart added the third goal, in his first start of the season for the Foxes.
