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.

What is being said?

Assistant manager Nikola Jurcevic: “It will be very difficult but I'm optimistic and I hope it will be a different game in the Olympic Stadium. We must be better. We must win this game in our stadium because we also have big ambitions in Europe.”

Co-chairman David Sullivan: “I was certainly scratching my head to explain why we couldn't hit our usual high levels of performance, and I am sure Slaven and his coaching staff were too. "We know we have to do better - and we will.”

66 mins - West Ham 2 Domzale 0: Michail Antonio whips in a delightful cross to Sofiane Feghouli but the new Hammers signing's header is glanced just wide of the guests' net. Seconds later and Darren Randolph is called into action but saves well down at his near post from distance.
