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.

WHILE SOME Italian clubs may need to redeem themselves this weekend after poor starts to the new season both domestically and in Europe there are no such problems for Milan, who visit Salernitana tomorrow fresh from a 3-0 victory at home to Bologna.

The German centre forward Oliver Bierhoff, a prolific goal scorer in Serie A for Udinese last season, was on the mark twice for his new club, the early leaders in the European club rankings, and Leonardo added the third. Salernitana, conversely, need to step up on their 3-1 defeat at Roma.

The champions Juventus proved vulnerable at the back in their 4-3 victory at Perugia last Sunday. Juve host Cagliari without the injured Paolo Montero, Mark Iuliano and Ciro Ferrara.

Internazionale, who pulled back a point after being 2-0 down at Cagliari last week, need to bounce back from their 2-0 defeat by the European Cup holders, Real Madrid, as Parma travel to Venezia.
