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.Stuart Pearce has admitted David Beckham could be involved in the 2012 Olympics. The coach of the British team, when asked about the inclusion of the former England captain yesterday, said: "He's certainly on a long list of people, yes." Olympic rules state countries can select a maximum of three players over the age of 23 and Beckham has already expressed his desire to take part.
Pearce said: "We're in the process of putting a long list out which can be added to in due course. [Players] will have to sign a form putting forward their participation within that and putting themselves forward for selection so the clubs will be aware very shortly of who is on that list."
