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.Serbia stand in the way of England Under-21s qualifying for next summer's European Championship in Israel after the pair were drawn together in next month's play-offs.
Stuart Pearce's side won Group Eight upon beating Norway 1-0 on Monday and play the unseeded Serbs in a two-legged affair between 12 and 16 October.
'It's a difficult tie for us, but when you are down to the last 14 in Europe you know you are not going to get an easy draw," Pearce said.
"They are an emerging side, and I spoke to Savo Milosevic about them and they, like us, have had a number of players move up to their senior team."
