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.

Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager, said yesterday the north London club were considering a partnership with the French First Division side Cannes for the training and development of young players.

The former Monaco coach said Arsenal and Cannes were about to "sign a partnership in the field of training and talent-spotting". A number of promising players have emerged from Cannes, like the midfielder Patrick Vieira, now with Arsenal after a spell at Milan.

Franz Beckenbauer, the Bayern Munich president, plans to clear the air with Jurgen Klinsmann early in the New Year, following the striker's criticism on national television of the team's playing style, and his threat to leave at the end of the season. Klinsmann scored Bayern's goal in their 1-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday - only his fifth of the season.
