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.

Brazil have beaten Belgium 2-0 to set up a match against England in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

Brazil had struggled to take control of the game and had to survive a number of scares in the second-half. However, they eventually took the lead after 67 minutes when Rivaldo's long-range shot was deflected into the net.

Brazil put the result beyond doubt after 87 minutes When Ronaldo finished off a quick Brazilian counter-attack to score his fifth goal of the tournament.
