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.

France beat Saudi Arabia 2-1 to join Spain as the qualifers from Group B while in Group A Portugal and Argentina both drew 1-1 to join them in the last eight.
Spain were trailing 2-1 against Australia, a result which would have sent their opponents through, when Santiago Denia equalised. In injury time, Real Madrid's Raul headed his second goal of the night. Australia had shocked Spain by scoring twice in the first 10 minutes through Aurelio Vidmar and Wolves' Steve Corica. Portugal drew 1-1 with the United States, as did Argentina against the lowly rated Tunisia.
