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.Manchester City are facing another early exit from the Champions League after a terrible performance at the Etihad against CSKA Moscow.
The defending Premier League champions found themselves a goal down in the opening stages after Martin Demichelis lost his marker, before Yaya Toure equalised with a lovely free-kick.
However, England No 1 Joe Hart was poorly beaten at his near post, Seydou Doumbia scoring his second of the night, and from there City went to pot.
Manuel Pellegrini made two half-time changes but one of those, Fernandinho, managed to pick up two yellow cards in just 25 minutes and City were down to 10 men.
Chasing the game Toure then turned villain, needlessly lashing out to be shown a straight red card.
City had chances and Sergio Aguero had a late appeal for a penalty waved away, but the home side were simply not good enough on the night.
