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.Chelsea expect to sign Brazilian forward Robinho from Real Madrid in the next 48 hours, Sky Sports News quoted chief executive Peter Kenyon as saying today.
The 24-year-old has been a target for Premier League Chelsea and their new coach Luiz Felipe Scolari for much of the close season.
Robinho said last week that he was determined to join Chelsea and asked Real directors to negotiate with the London club.
British newspapers have put a fee of up to £29m on the deal.
The Guardian also quoted Robinho's agent Wagner Ribeiro as saying an agreement was in sight.
"A deal is about to be reached," he said. "Robinho's time in Spain has come to an end. He is looking forward to being part of a new project."
