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.

Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed that Nabil Bentaleb, Federico Fazio and Alex Pritchard have no future at Tottenham.

Clinton N’Jie’s future also hangs in the balance after the Spurs boss refused to rule out an exit for the forward, according to the Daily Mail.

All four players have been left behind in England as the Tottenham squad flies out to Australia for their pre-season tour, prompting rumours that they were on their way out.

HALF-TIME JUV 2-0 TOT That's it for the half - Tottenham leave the field with work to do if they are to get anything from this pre-season opener. Expect a few changes at the break..

Spurs did not have a single shot on target in the first half and new signing Vincent Janssen hardly had any time on the ball. Wanyama impressed in flashes - the Kenyan a strong presence when in possession - but Juventus are well worth their lead.
