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.

Liverpool have completed the signing of Italian full-back Andrea Dossena from Udinese.

The left-back had been expected to make the move to Anfield for some time and after signing Swiss right-back Philipp Degen earlier today, Rafael Benitez has made his second acquisition of the day.

Like Degen, Dossena has signed a four-year deal.

Dossena, 26, replaces Norwegian John Arne Riise who left for Roma earlier this summer and joins for an undisclosed fee thought to be around £7million.

He has been capped once by Italy, in a friendly last year.

Degen earlier joined on a free transfer from Borussia Dortmund.
