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 England soccer coach Terry Venables claimed victory in a High Court battle with a former business partner yesterday despite being awarded only half his costs of pounds 125,000. Mr Venables won nearly pounds 50,000 in damages over a failed pubs venture but his claim for more than pounds 144,359 was rejected.
His former business partner, Paul Kirby, must pay pounds 36,089 with pounds 12,973 interest and around pounds 100,000 of Mr Venables's costs plus his own. Lawyers for Mr Kirby, an FA councillor, claimed the costs ruling meant Mr Venables would still be out of pocket.
