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.

Scottish football

The Hearts manager, Jim Jefferies, yesterday completed the signings of his three-man foreign legion until the end of the season. The French goalkeeper Gilles Rousset, the Italian defender Pasquale Bruno and the Swedish striker, Hans Eskilsson, are preparing for their first Edinburgh derby tomorrow against Hibernian at Tynecastle.

Bruno, the former Juventus and Torino defender, has impressed in a three- match trial, and has accepted a contract to stay at Tynecastle until the end of the 1996/97 season. "I like Edinburgh and the Hearts fans have been very good to me since I came here," he said.

Hearts are likely to be without the Scotland defender Dave McPherson while Hibs have injury worries over the forwards Keith Wright and Kevin Harper, but Andy Millen could return after a knee injury for Alex Miller's side. Tomorrow is also derby day in Glasgow, with Celtic travelling to Ibrox to face the champions, Rangers.
