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 Swiss champions, Sion, lost their appeal yesterday to Uefa, European football's governing body, and will have to replay their Uefa Cup tie against Spartak Moscow on Wednesday. Uefa ordered the first-round second-leg match on 30 September, which ended 2-2 with Spartak advancing 3-2 on aggregate, to be replayed after upholding a Sion protest that the goals were too small. Sion had asked for a 3-0 forfeit in their favour.
The Portsmouth trio, Sammy Igoe, Aaron Flahavan and Russell Perrett, have all signed new contracts which will keep them at Fratton Park until 2001.
Aston Villa have been allocated 1,000 tickets for their Uefa Cup second round first leg with Athletic Bilbao in Spain on 21 October.
