Your support helps us to tell the story
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 forward Rafael van der Vaart has no plans to leave the club this summer.
The 29-year-old Holland international has been linked with a move away from White Hart Lane following the dismissal of manager Harry Redknapp last month.
But he has played down such talk and insisted the future is bright under new boss Andre Villas-Boas.
He said in The Sun: "My place is at Spurs. I want to win the title with this club. Each summer my name appears in the transfer market.
"The race for the top four will be a total war from the very first day."
Van der Vaart, who joined the north London club two years ago from Real Madrid, added: "The new coach has good plans for me and this is important.
"I have heard excellent reports about AVB.
"We have very good attacking players and if AVB imposes an offensive system the team could be a real spectacle."
