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.

Fulham are clear of debt after owner Mohamed Al Fayed converted loans totalling more than £200m into shares in the club. The club have released limited figures from their financial report for the 2011-12 season, which included an operating profit of £1.2m.

Al Fayed said: "Fulham continues to make great strides and, following planning permission for the redevelopment of the Riverside Stand, we will continue to prosper and grow."

Emmanuel Frimpong, the midfielder on loan from Arsenal, is in line to make his debut in tonight's game against West Ham, whose manager, Sam Allardyce, admits there is "total confusion" over the future of his midfielder Mohamed Diame. "There are certain situations where we might lose him. I hope we don't," Allardyce said.

Odds Fulham 6-5 Draw 5-2 West Ham United 5-2

Kick-off 8pm (Highlights BBC 1, 10.35pm)
