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.

Time is running out for the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United as the summer transfer window draws to a close.

There are less than 48 hours remaining for clubs to complete their business before the summer window slams shut at 11pm tomorrow.

Expect plenty of last-minute drama as clubs frantically scramble to land their targets for the 2017/18 season.

Neymar has already smashed the world transfer record by swapping Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain but many closer to home could follow him in big money transfers with speculation about the futures of Alexis Sanchez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and more refusing to go away.

Manchester City have been the summer's biggest spenders splashing over £200m on new arrivals but Pep Guardiola isn't stopping there with Jonny Evans eyed to plug what still looks to be a hole in the centre of their defence.

Crosstown rivals United have been busy too and still want more despite adding Romelu Lukaku, Nemanja Matic and Victor Lindelof with Jose Mourinho keen on an attacking wide player and a new full back.

Liverpool struggled to get deals over the line early and could still lose Coutinho but have bounced back with the signing of Naby Keita looking like a real coup. Meanwhile, Chelsea need bodies as Antonio Conte battles with an injury and suspension crisis with the Premier League champions.

We will have all the latest news for you right here so don't touch that dial.
