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.Manchester United supporters held a tribute for club legend George Best in the seventh minute of the Champions League clash against PSV Eindhoven.
Best, one of the club's greatest, died 10 years ago today and United fans held up torches and lights on their mobile phones to mark the occasion.
The tribute happened in the seventh minute as Best was famous for wearing the No 7 shirt.
The Northern Irishman played 11 years at Old Trafford, scoring 181 goals in 474 matches.
He won the title with the club twice, in 1965 and 1967, and was brilliant as the club won their first European Cup in 1968.
Best scored the crucial goal three minutes into extra-time and United went on to win 4-1.
United couldn't deliver a winning result on the night though, as they were held to a goalless draw with PSV to leave Louis van Gaal's side facing a tough ask to go to Germany and beat Wolfsburg in order to reach the last-16 of the Champions League.
