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.

AUSTRALIAN KEEPER Mark Bosnich says he is available to play at next year's Sydney Olympics, but does not think he should get the job.

The Aston Villa player, a possible successor to Peter Schmeichel at Manchester United next season, is Australia's first choice and could be selected as one of three over-23 players for the home Olympics.

But Bosnich says it would be hard to take his place in the team if he is not there during qualifying.

"I have made myself available to the powers that be but I've also said ... though I'd dearly love to play in Sydney I would like the opportunity for a young kid who's trying to make his way in the game to play in the Olympic Games so he could perhaps further himself," Bosnich said in a television interview in Australia yesterday.
