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.The trial of the Blackburn and Scotland striker, David Goodwillie, on a charge of assault, was yesterday adjourned until April.
Goodwillie, 22, denies attacking John Friel in Glasgow on 3 November 2010. He was due to stand trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court but his lawyer, Paul McBride QC, said that there had been a lack of co-operation from Friel and a witness.
McBride said: "The complainer in this case and another witness Matthew Flynn have refused to co-operate in the precognition process and in light of that, an application was made to Sheriff McFarlane for them to be precognised on oath tomorrow before a sheriff in Glasgow."
