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.

The Celtic manager, Martin O'Neill, wants Chelsea's Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to be Henrik Larsson's replacement.

The Celtic manager, Martin O'Neill, wants Chelsea's Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to be Henrik Larsson's replacement.

O'Neill has started negotiations for the Dutchman and would like to take him on loan for a year or on a free transfer.

His £60,000 a week wages are a problem, however. Celtic could offer him £40,000, if Chelsea make up the rest by loaning him out for his final season or paying him off.

Emerson, the Roma midfielder said that Chelsea are still interested in him, but not for the "same figures as last year".

Chelsea have made a "huge" offer to lure the centre-back Walter Samuel away from Roma, according to the player's agent, Raul Oliveros. "Chelsea's offer is huge and will be impossible for both the player and Roma to refuse," he said.
