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 Manchester United captain Roy Keane has been questioned by police over claims that he threatened a neighbour with a knife.

Susan Eyres, 34, told officers the Irish international midfielder (pictured left) had shouted abuse at her after hammering on the back door of her parents' home in Altrincham.. She claimed he brandished a knife and walking stick. The row is believed to have started after Ms Eyres's brother told Keane to keep his dogs on a leash to stop them getting into his garden. A police spokesman confirmed that Keane had been interviewed and that further inquiries were being made. "On completion of these inquiries a decision as to what further action to be taken will be made," he added.
