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 third round of the FA Cup will take place from Friday to Monday and so far none of the games have been postponed due to Covid.
The virus has impacted the first game up, though, as Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has tested positive. This means the Spaniard was not present when his side beat Swindon Town at the County Ground on Friday night.
Chelsea and Liverpool are among the other top sides to have been hit by injuries and other absences, though games are expected to go ahead as planned.
Another nine third-round matches are set for broadcast across the weekend as the FA Cup takes centre stage.
Here’s all you need to know about the draw and where to watch those games.
