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.

Montenegro hope that the atmosphere in Podgorica tonight will help them to overturn a 2-0 deficit against the Czech Republic.

"We won't collapse," insisted the striker Dejan Damjanovic. "We're a totally different team at home. We have to be a lot more attacking in the second leg."

The defender Stefan Savic, of Manchester City, added: "There's still 90 minutes to play, and I think we can beat them in our stadium. It's going to be very hard, but we have hope."

The Czech coach Michal Bilek's instructions to his players were simple. "If we score once," he said, "Montenegro must get four, which will be very, very difficult."
