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.South Korea have knocked Italy out of the World Cup on a Golden Goal in possibly the biggest shock of the tournament so far.
Ahn Jung-hwan headed in with just three minutes of extra-time left. The Koreans had only drawn level with two minutes of regular time remaining when Seol Ki-hyeon scored a dramatic equaliser.
Christian Vieri put Italy ahead in the first half, but the Italians were content to hold on to the lead when they were in control of the game and ended up paying for their negativity. They also lost Francesco Totti who was sent off for a second bookable offence after diving in the penalty area
