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.Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs has revealed that Danny Welbeck has been "getting stick" from England team-mates - after switching where he sits during team meals.
The left-back said that Welbeck, who moved to Arsenal from Manchester United on transfer deadline day, is now sitting at the 'southern table' rather than the 'northern table' when the squad eats together.
"Danny's made the switch from the northern table to the southern table at dinners and stuff," said Gibbs, who has been dropped to the bench by Roy Hodgson in favour of Leighton Baines.
"He's getting a bit of stick from the northern boys but he's been properly welcomed to the south."
Gibbs admitted that the mood in the England squad was fun and that they have "great banter".
He added: "Everyone knows each other quite well. There aren't too many new faces. Spirit is good.
"It's very relaxed and there's a feel-good factor in the dressing room. It's fun."
