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.Birmingham City have signed the Wales captain, Barry Horne, from Everton for pounds 250,000. Horne, 34, is the second major arrival at St Andrew's since the arrival of Trevor Francis as manager last month. He follows the former Manchester United captain, Steve Bruce, who moved to the Midlands club on a free transfer.
Birmingham's new assistant manager, the former England defender Mick Mills, said of Horne: "He is another leader, another player with vast experience who likes to win games."
Horne, who won his 54th cap for his country in the 5-0 victory against San Marino at the weekend, said: "Birmingham City are a sleeping giant. The management are ambitious and so am I. It's a big challenge."
Horne began his career with Wrexham and had spells with Portsmouth and Southampton before joining Everton in 1992.
