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.

Trevor Sinclair yesterday joined West Ham in a cash-plus- players deal from Queen's Park Rangers, who have taken the Northern Ireland internationals Iain Dowie and Keith Rowland, plus pounds 2m in exchange.

Sinclair sees the move as an opportunity to recover his form. He said: "I wouldn't be coming back to the Premier League if I didn't want to recapture my best form - that's what I'm here for. And I'm going to work hard to make sure it happens."

Manchester United have abandoned the search for new players before the deadline for Uefa competitions. Only players signed before tomorrow can play in the rest of this season's European competitions.

The Leeds striker Rod Wallace has turned down a move to Middlesbrough. The clubs had agreed a fee of pounds 1.5m. Neil Ruddock has refused a loan move from Liverpool to Tranmere.

The full-back Richard Edghill has rejected a lucrative offer to stay at Manchester City and could leave for nothing.
