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.Lennart Johansson, the president of Uefa, European football's governing body, believes that the rivalry between Germany and England over the issue of who will stage the 2006 World Cup, could be damaging to both country's prospects. He also believes that a joint bid will not succeed.
"They must remember that other parts of the world will also have expectations, like Africa and Brazil," Johannson, who runs later this year for the presidency of Fifa, said in an exclusive interview with The Independent (page 10). "It would have been better for all of us to have sat down first and discussed this."
