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.Manchester City face Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday night knowing that even a win might not guarantee them a place in the last 16.
Manuel Pellegrini's side currently sit in third place in Group E, level on points with Roma and CSKA Moscow.
They will have to win their match against Roma and hope CSKA do not defeat Bayern Munich in order for them to progress from the group.
City can also advance to the next round with a score draw, provided the Russian champions loose.
City are looking to reach the latter stages of the Champions League for the second successive season, but they will be without Sergio Aguero due to injury and Yaya Toure is suspended. Captain Vincent Kompany could return to the squad following a brief spell on the sidelines injured.
