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.

Uefa, European football's ruling body, have rejected Tottenham's official protest claiming that Kaiserslautern changed their starting line-up after the official deadline for last week's Uefa Cup second-round second-leg match in Germany. The Bundesliga side won the tie 2-1 on aggregate.

The Bayern Munich midfielder, Jens Jeremies, was handed a five match ban and fined 10,000 marks (pounds 3,330) by Uefa for stamping on the PSV Eindhoven player, Arnold Bruggink, during a Champions' League game on 26 October. Jeremies was sent off as Bayern lost 2-1.

The United States beat New Zealand 2-1 in the opening match of the under- 17 world championship in Auckland yesterday. New Zealand led at half-time but succumbed after their goal scorer David Mulligan was sent off early in the second half.
