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.Freezing temperatures and heavy snow have forced the postponement of this week's English League Cup semi-final first leg matches.
The tie between Blackburn Rovers and Aston Villa, scheduled for Tuesday, and Wednesday's Manchester derby between City and United were called off because of dangerous travelling conditions across the north of England.
"The decision was taken in conjunction with the police match commander on the grounds of public safety," said a statement on Rovers website.
"It is snowing heavily in Blackburn, as it has been all morning, and advice locally is not to travel unless it is absolutely necessary."
United said on their website (www.manutd.com) that the first leg at City's Eastlands ground had been rearranged for January 19 with the second leg now scheduled for January 27.
No new dates have yet been announced for the Rovers v Villa match.
