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.

KATOWICE bowed out of the Uefa Cup in disarray last night, having three players sent off during their 2-1 defeat by Galatasaray in Istanbul.

The Polish migration began after the Turks, already 1-0 ahead on the night and on aggregate through Sukur Hakan, were awarded a penalty in the 56th minute. Roman Szewczyk persisted with his protest against the decision until the Welsh referee, Rodger Gifford, sent him off.

The former Cologne player Falko Gotz converted the penalty, and though Katowice pulled a goal back their hopes disappeared when Lezlow and Juercaiski were also sent off.

David Platt played a controlling midfield role as Juventus made their expected progress at the expense of Anorthosis in Larnaca. Pierluigi Casiraghi scored twice in the second half of a 4-0 victory over the Cypriots which took Juve into Friday's second-round draw on a 10-1 aggregate.

Fifteen Swedes were arrested for their part in a rampage through Aarhus before AIK Stockholm's 1-1 draw in the Cup-Winners' Cup with the local Danish club, who won through on the away goals rule. Shop windows were smashed and cars overturned in disturbances police blamed on drink.
