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.The Wales team managed by the late Gary Speed have been confirmed as the "best movers of the year" in FIFA's world rankings after moving into the top 50.
Under the stewardship of Speed, who took over in late 2010, Wales rose from 116th to finish the year in 48th place.
Speed, who died last month aged 42, oversaw Euro 2012 qualifying victories over Montenegro, Switzerland and Bulgaria, as well as impressive performances in friendlies including a 4-1 victory over Norway in his final match in charge.
That saw them amass 330 points under FIFA's system, more than any other nation in the world.
The top 10 of the world rankings are unchanged from November, with world and European champions Spain in first place ahead of Holland, Germany and Uruguay.
England finished the year in fifth place.
