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.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST'S recent improvement in form which had moved them off the bottom of the Premier League was not sustained when they lost 2-0 at home to Manchester City.

As some supporters saw red once more, Brian Clough announced the signing of a new striker. In their midweek game at the City Ground, Robert Rosario, formerly of Coventry City, made his debut although Forest were held to a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace. Roy Keane scored for Forest and later in the week signed a new three and a half year contract.

In Italy, Paul Gascoigne, of Lazio, saw red for the first time this season when he was dismissed after fouling Marlo Bortolazzi, of Genoa.

There were sinking feelings for Peter Blake and Robin Knox- Johnston as their attempt to win the Jules Verne Trophy by sailing around the world in 80 days came to an end when Enza New Zealand hit a semi-submerged object in the Southern Ocean after 27 days at sea.

Wigan were in buoyant mood when, nine minutes from time, Joe Lydon preserved their six-year unbeaten run in the Challenge Cup by scoring a try and a goal to give them a 19-18 victory over Halifax.
