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.Liverpool have followed up the signing of striker Daniel Sturridge by agreeing an £8.5 million deal for Internazionale's Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho.
The 20-year-old is expected to undergo a medical next week, though Liverpool will need a work permit before the deal can be completed.
Inter paid £3.5m for Coutinho in 2008 when he was just 16. Big things were expected of him but last season he went on loan to Espanyol and his one Brazil cap came in 2010.
He was linked with a move to Southampton having worked with new manager Mauricio Pochettino at Espanyol. But he chose Anfield, where manager Brendan Rodgers is still hoping to add to his squad before the January transfer window closes. "We still need one or two additions," he said on Friday.
