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.The West Bromwich Albion striker Nicholas Anelka has been charged by the FA for performing a 'quenelle' gesture after he scored during a Premier League match last month.
The length of ban Anelka will receive has not yet been determined, though the ex-France forward faces a minimum of 5 games on the sidelines. He has until the 23rd January to respond.
Zoopla, who sponsor West Brom, have announced they will not be renewing their £3million, two-year agreement with the club from next season.
The quenelle has been described as an inverted Nazi salute. Read more about its significance here, and our columnist Howard Jacobson's view here.
