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.

Paul Gascoigne refused to comment on reports of impending divorce from his wife, Sheryl, as he left Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow after a training session yesterday.

The England midfielder jumped into his car and sped out of the ground to avoid the press. The vehicle roared through traffic lights before disappearing down a side street to shake off photographers.

It was thought Gascoigne may be returning to his chalet at the Cameron House Hotel, beside Loch Lomond, where he has been living since quitting his home in Kilbarchan, Renfrew.

He was quoted in yesterday's Sun as saying his estranged wife had served divorce papers on him - 17 months after their wedding.

The couple, who have a year-old son, Regan, married in 1996 but three months later Sheryl, 32, who has two other children from a previous marriage, was photographed after being beaten by Gascoigne, 30, at Gleneagles Hotel. It is believed that he later underwent counselling for his temper.
