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.

Scottish football

Rangers have joined the pounds 3m chase for Ian Wright, Arsenal's transfer- seeking striker. Walter Smith, the Rangers manager, and Davie Dodds, his coach, watched the 32-year-old forward in Wednesday's Premiership match at Manchester United.

The chance to play in the Champions' League next season would appeal to Wright, while Smith is still in the hunt for a goalscorer, despite his recent buys of Peter van Vossen and Erik Bo Andersen.

Rangers have not yet made a direct approach but their interest is known at Arsenal. Chelsea are their main rivals, with Glenn Hoddle having made a couple of offers only to be rejected. Arsenal may be happier selling Wright to Scotland rather than having their crowd favourite playing down the road at Stamford Bridge.
