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.

EUROPEAN ROUND-UP

Roberto Baggio marked his return from injury with a goal as Juventus beat Foggia 2-0 to maintain their Serie A lead. Baggio, playing his first league match since 27 November, bent in a free-kick from a difficult angle in the second half, after Fabrizio Ravanelli had given Juventus the lead nine minutes earlier.

With 11 games remaining, the Turin club are four points clear of Parma, who kept up their challenge by beating Sampdoria 3-2 with two goals from Gianfranco Zola, who also had a penalty saved by Walter Zenga, Sampdoria's veteran goalkeeper.

Milan, the defending champions, defeated Padua with a goal from their in-form striker, Marco Simone, to move into third place. Daniel Fonseca's first goal since 27 November earned Roma a 1-1 draw with Torino to keep them in fourth place.

An injury-time winner from the Nigerian striker, Nwankwo Kanu, ensured Ajax retained the leadership of the Dutch First Division yesterday, with a 2-1 win over Go-Ahead Eagles.

The victory put them two points clear of Roda, who could only manage a dull goalless draw with Sparta, while PSV Eindhoven stay in third place.
