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.

n We would have needed airborne troops to get between them. Dutch police chief on the pre-arranged confrontation between Ajax and Feyenoord fans on waste ground outside Amsterdam.

n It was a great gesture by Fowler and I would like to give him an award of fair play. But if he got that I would also have to give the referee an award for stupidity. Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager, on the Robbie Fowler/David Seaman penalty incident.

n He could have kicked the penalty wide. Seaman, asked what more Fowler could have done.

n Tim Henman is the one guy that I find is going to be a threat, not only for me but for all the guys. Pete Sampras, world tennis No 1, looks to the future.

n Today, snooker is a much more violent game. It used to be a nice tip- tap sport in the '70s and '80s but now it's brutal. I was like a defenceless boxer on the ropes with my arms down. Steve Davis after his 6-1 Irish Masters defeat by Peter Ebdon.
