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.Barcelona, shorn of Samuel Eto'o, Lionel Messi and Javier Saviola, will try to pierce the tightest defence in La Liga when they travel to Majorca tomorrow. Real Mallorca have conceded only six goals in 10 games but remain mid-table as they have scored only five. Seville, in second, host the sixth-placed Valencia tonight, while Real Madrid, in third, are at home to Racing Santender. David Beckham is absent with a knee complaint, an inflamed left meniscus.
Beckham was last night at the centre of a new rift with his manager, Fabio Capello, with reports saying the former England captain and his wife Victoria had flown to Rome for the wedding this weekend of the film actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, despite Capello's insistence that the midfielder remain in Spain.
In Serie A Internazionale will hope to edge clear of the joint-leaders Palermo as the Nerazzurri host Reggina tomorrow, while the Sicilians play Cagliari in Sardinia tonight.
