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.The bus carrying the FC Twente team was pelted with stones while travelling to their Eredivisie game at AZ Alkmaar yesterday.
The vehicle was bombarded from a viaduct and sustained damage to the side and the rear, although no one was hurt.
Steve McLaren's side still played the match, which they lost 1-0 to remain four points ahead of Ajax at the top of the table.
The matter is being investigated by police.
"If the stone comes through the windscreen and hits you while travelling, what then?" Twente chairman Jupp Munsterman said on www.fctwente.nl.
"I cannot believe this has happened. How low can you get?
"We will certainly make a statement to police."
McLaren claimed the incident did not have an effect on the result of the match.
"That had no impact on our game," the former England boss said.
McLaren admitted his side need to bounce back from the defeat when they take on Feyenoord on Sunday if they are to remain on course for the title.
"We missed an opportunity but we still have it in our own hands," he added.
"The reaction of the team is very important.
"We must now win the last two games and go for it."
