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.

Indiscipline may be the over-riding problem facing football at the moment - and it is not confined to the men's game.

In the Women's Premier League, Barry Town made the trip to Champion Hill and took their first points with a 1-0 victory over Millwall Lionesses - despite both sides having a player sent off for fighting.

Barry's Fran Sanders and Millwall's Leanne Champ were dismissed with only six minutes of the match remaining but held their advantage. Centre-forward Trudy Williams hit the winner for Barry eight minutes after the break.

The England internationals Angela Banks and Claire Wheatley helped Arsenal to their second successive win in the Premier League as the visitors beat Everton 2-1 at Marine FC.
