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 Ataturk Stadium in Turkey looked more like a slow number at a stadium rock gig tonight after fans waved their mobile phones in the air during the black-out in the Europa League tie between Besiktas and Tottenham.
There were only eight minutes of play gone in the game, which was 0-0 at the time of the floodlight failure.
After a 15 minute delay, the match re-started.

Farcically, play was halted by another power failure in stoppage time.
Again, the players were forced down the tunnel for an enforced break with the Turkish side leading 1-0.
Besiktas eventually won the game by 1-0, meaning they finish top of Group C at Spurs' expense.
