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.Nigel Worthington has begun plotting a route to South Africa after being confirmed as Northern Ireland's manager for the 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign.
The former Norwich manager must negotiate a group containing Poland, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia and San Marino if he is to end a 24-year wait to make it to a major finals.
And after witnessing his team gain momentum impressively in his six games in temporary charge, as they only narrowly failed to reach Euro 2008, Worthington is confident.
"We've got good players at the moment," he said. "There's a nice blend of experience and young players in the team, there's a good spirit, and that's the way I like to manage."
