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.

England have reached the knockout stages of the World Cup after a tense 0-0 draw with Nigeria.

In a match of very few chances, England's best opportunity came when Paul Scholes hit the post with a long-range shot. Nigeria had several half-chances, but were kept out thanks to an excellent display by Rio Ferdinand.

In the other Group F game, Sweden drew 1-1 with Argentina. The result means that Sweden will play Senegal in the next round while England will face Denmark.
