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 Arsenal manager, Arsène Wenger, confirmed after his side's 4-2 defeat to Charlton at Highbury yesterday that Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry, Sylvain Wiltord and Robert Pires will travel to Melbourne tomorrow for France's friendly international against Australia.

Arsenal had led the opposition to next Sunday's match, which Wenger has called "crazy", appealing unsuccessfully to Fifa, football's world governing body, for no more than one player per club to be chosen.

David Wetherall's £1.5m move from Bradford City to Southampton is in danger of collapsing because he wants a long-term contract.

The Wolves manager, Dave Jones, is trying to sign Oldham's Northern Ireland Under-21 goalkeeper David Miskelly for £500,000.

Steve Banks looks likely to leave Bolton after a row with his manager, Sam Allardyce, that saw him relegated to the bench against Everton on Saturday. Banks has been angered by Allardyce's move for Barcelona's Frenchman Richard Dutruel.
