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.Wales's chances of qualifying for the finals of a major tournament for the first time since 1958 took an enormous leap with a 2-1 win over Italy at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff last night. Craig Bellamy's 71st-minute goal took Wales to the top of Group Nine with six points from two games. Wales had taken the lead after 12 minutes through Simon Davies, although Alessandro Del Piero equalised 20 minutes later.
A goal three minutes from time by Switzerland's Fabio Celestini inflicted a second defeat in two Group 10 games for the Republic of Ireland at Lansdowne Road last night. The visitors took the lead through Hakan Yakin and it took an own goal to level the scores.
