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.

Fabian Caballero

Arsenal

Signed on a season-long loan in October, from Serro Portino of Paraguay, the 21-year-old Argentinian striker was described as a possible pounds 2m addition to Arsene Wenger's squad but has been limited to three senior appearances, the last of them somewhat controversial, when he was accused of elbowing Preston's Ryan Kidd during an FA Cup tie at Deepdale in January.

David Beharall

Newcastle United

The 20-year-old Newcastle-born defender, a product of the club's school of excellence, signalled his composure and quality as captain of the Newcastle side that won the Northern Intermediate League title last season. Impressed Ruud Gullit on his senior debut against Everton and earned a second start at Wimbledon on Saturday.

Unsettled at Manchester United he may be, but Teddy can be relied upon to serve an ace when Alex Ferguson needs him. He's not bad on the tennis court, either, according to witnesses, who apparently spotted him winning the Australian Open.
