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.

The former Milan favourite Roberto Donadoni dealt his former club's title ambitions a blow yesterday when the club he now coaches, Livorno, pulled off a famous home win over the Italian champions.

The former Milan favourite Roberto Donadoni dealt his former club's title ambitions a blow yesterday when the club he now coaches, Livorno, pulled off a famous home win over the Italian champions.

The victory, earned by a goal from Corrado Colombo, was sufficient to see off Milan and allow Juventus to stretch their lead to five points by beating Brescia 2-0. It could hardly have been a better weekend for Juve, whose position was further secured by a 2-0 defeat for third-placed Udinese at home to Reggina.

Internazionale preserved their 19-game unbeaten record in Serie A this season as they came from behind to draw 1-1 with Chievo on Saturday.

The German Federation will hold an emergency board meeting today following the resignation of a referee accused of fixing a match and betting on the result. Robert Hoyzer, who has denied the allegations, is suspected of betting on the first-round German Cup tie between Hamburg and the regional league side SC Paderborn last August.

Hamburg took a 2-0 lead but lost 4-2 after Hoyzer sent off the striker Emile Mpenza in the first half for insulting him and awarded two penalties to the regional league side.
