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.

NASEEM HAMED confirmed yesterday that he has split up with his long-time trainer Brendan Ingle. Hamed will leave the Wincobank gymnasium in Sheffield where he has been training since the age of seven, and will also stop working with Ingle's sons John and Dominic.

The partnership was tarnished by Ingle's controversial comments in a recent book The Paddy and the Prince.

Hamed said: "You cannot dismiss the time we have spent together - we have shared some very special times that I will remember for ever."

Hamed retained Ingle as a "supervisor" for his last World Boxing Organisation featherweight title defence, against Wayne McCullough in October. However, he appeared to disregard advice from Ingle.
