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.

Andy Murray has joined David Beckham, the Spice Girls and Claudia Schiffer by signing for Simon Fuller's 19 Entertainment management company.

Murray, who is joining with his brother Jamie, is at the end of his contract with Patricio Apey's Ace Group. Murray will also work with CAA Sports, which represents Novak Djokovic, the world No 3.

"Jamie and I feel we've made big progress in the last couple of years on court," Murray said. "It's important we have the very best team to take care of business while we concentrate on our tennis."

Murray plays James Blake tomorrow in an exhibition tournament in Abu Dhabi, which also features Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Roddick. He then flies to Doha for next week's Qatar Open, his only tournament before the Australian Open, which begins on 19 January.
