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.CARDIFF CITY may take their FA Cup crusade to the Arms Park, after being given a home tie against Luton or Newcastle in yesterday's fifth-round draw.
If the Geordies prevail in next week's replay at Kenilworth Road, the Welsh club will try to switch the tie to the national stadium, which has a capacity of 52,000 - more than double that of Ninian Park. 'It is something everybody is talking about,' Roger Gibbins, the Cardiff coach, said. 'I believe we could fill the Arms Park against Newcastle.' Kidderminster Harriers, the sole non-League survivors, were drawn at home to West Ham or Notts County.
FIFTH-ROUND DRAW

Cardiff v Newcastle or Luton
Kidderminster v Notts County or West Ham
Oldham or Stoke v Plymouth or Barnsley
