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.Ever thought you could make it as a Premier League footballer?
We all have at some point and Everton have given us a sneak preview into just how hard it is to reach the top.
Goalkeepers aren't known for their stamina, pace or ability to last for 90 minutes in England's top flight - or at any level of football - but Under-21 goalkeeper Russell Griffiths shows even stoppers need to be at the peak of fitness to make it to the top.
The 18-year-old was a part of Everton's title-winning Under-18 side before being moved up a level this summer.
In the video released by the club, Griffiths is put through a lengthy regime that leaves him gasping for breath at their pre-season training camp in Austria.
Breathless stuff.
