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.

With the four English Champions League teams back in action this week, we've taken a look at the distances each club has to travel away this season.

Manchester City have the overall biggest distance to travel with CSKA Moscow alone clocking 1,572 miles. It will also be the longest journey any English team has to travel in the Champions League group stage.

Arsenal have the least amount of distance to travel, with a total of 2,075 miles. Their shortest trip is to face Belgian team R.S.C Anderlecht, only a mere 197 miles away. This is also the shortest journey any of the English Champions League teams have to make during the group stage.

Liverpool, returning to the competition for the first time since the 2009/10 campaign, rank second with 3,017 miles and Chelsea third with 2,086 miles.

Here's a mapped out look at the journey's each team needs to make...
