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.Alex McLeish has told Birmingham fans frustrated by the stuttering start to the current campaign to trust him.
City have won only one of their opening seven matches in the Barclays Premier League and were booed off at the end of last weekend's 2-0 defeat by Everton.
McLeish was upset with that reaction to Blues' first home defeat in 13 months and wants supporters to show faith in him and his staff.
The former Scotland boss told the Birmingham Mail: "I understand people are frustrated and so are we.
"But the fans have got to trust me. I have been in this game a long time and we are aware of what we need to improve upon.
"We are trying to find the right solutions, trying to find the right balance.
"There have been some changes since last season and we have dropped some big points.
"But there are plenty still to play for and we have a team that is well capable.
"We have forwards still striving to find their feet and, as yet, I've not found the most potent combination, despite trying them all."
