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.

Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas has agreed to rejoin his former club Nottingham Forest on a one-month loan deal.

Jenas, 29, came through the youth ranks at the City Ground and scored four goals in 33 games before he was sold to Newcastle for £5million as a teenager in 2002. He moved on to Tottenham in 2005.

Talks had been held over a return to the banks of the River Trent in the summer but they fell through.

However, revived discussions have seen Forest fend off interest from other clubs to land the former England international.

Forest today announced: "Nottingham Forest can confirm Jermaine Jenas is to return to the club on an emergency loan from Tottenham Hotspur."

Jenas, who was named in Tottenham's 25-man Barclays Premier League squad last month, has been a peripheral figure at White Hart Lane in recent years, with fitness problems meaning he last started a match for Spurs in April 2011.

A loan spell at Aston Villa was cut short last year after he suffered a season-ending Achilles injury.

Jenas is expected to go straight into the Forest squad for the televised clash against local rivals Derby at the City Ground on Sunday afternoon.
