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.

Football fans gathered in Napoli to watch the team’s match against Salernitana, and a victory would have secured the club its first Serie A championship since the Diego Maradona era back in 1990.

The home side ended up drawing thanks to a header goal by Mathias Olivera, from a Giacomo Raspadori corner.

This marks Olivera’s second goal for Napoli, after scoring against Cremonese on 9 October.

However, it finished 1-1 following an 84th-minute net from Boulaye Dia.

Fans across the city can be heard cheering and blaring vuvuzelas as they packed out bars to catch a glimpse of the action.

The result has delayed their hopes of clinching the title.
