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.Tottenham have been dealt a further injury blow with the coach Martin Jol confirming that the £10.8m striker Dimitar Berbatov could be out for a further fortnight. Berbatov has not played since their 2-0 home defeat by Everton at White Hart Lane because of a persistent groin injury. The Bulgarian forward collected the injury on his home debut against Sheffield United.
Jol said: "Berbatov may take some time. It could take another couple of weeks. I don't think it needs an operation. We have been pushing him and he has been pushing himself and then he had a setback. We treated him and then needed him again but he couldn't do it last week and it was the case again yesterday."
Berbatov, signed from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer, missed the defeat by Manchester United, the victory over Slavia Prague in the Uefa Cup and last Sunday's goalless draw with Fulham. Spurs have now equalled their worst start to a league campaign for 14 years.
