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.

THE WORLD'S oldest international fixture - the meeting of England and Scotland - could return to the football calendar after the next World Cup, when the Scots, who hosted the last of the 106 matches at Hampden Park in 1989, hope to resume regular encounters with the old enemy.

There are no plans for Scotland to travel to Wembley, but the Scottish Football Association is ready to invite England to a refurbished Hampden, which is being rebuilt as a 50,000 all-seater ground.

'We are keen to start playing England again at a time in the season when it would have some meaning,' Jim Farry, the chief executive of the SFA, said. 'We are looking at March 1995 as the first opportunity.'
