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.

THE WHISTLE BLOWS, AND THAT IS THAT! Inter Milan have condemned Mauricio Pochettino to a third consecutive defeat (for the first time in his Tottenham tenure), Mauro Icardi's spectacular volley and Matias Vecino's stoppage time header giving Inter the victory.

Wow! Inter Milan were awful throughout the game, even after going a goal behind, but they have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, and Spurs' troubles deepen. They should never have lost that game.

Such is the nature of these staggered kick-off times that we have little time to react to that result, for the next set of fixtures begin in less than ten minutes.
