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.Tottenham have completed the signing of veteran goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini from Chelsea on a free transfer.
Spurs manager Harry Redknapp has signed the 35-year-old to compete with current number one Heurelho Gomes, who has been the subject of much criticism this season.
The Italian has been at Chelsea since 1999 and was first-choice goalkeeper at the club until the arrival of Petr Cech in 2004.
Cudicini originally signed for Chelsea on a year-long loan from Castel di Sangro in the summer of 1999 and made his move permanent the following summer for £160,000.
He was named the Blues' player of the year in 2002 and has helped the club win two Premier League titles, two FA Cups and two League cups.
Spurs' poor defensive record has seen them plummet to 16th in the league. But neither Ben Alnwick nor Cesar Sanchez (released by the club last week) has been able to dislodge the error-prone Gomes, who signed for £7m from PSV in the summer.
