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.Sheffield United expect to learn the outcome of their claim against West Ham for compensation over the Carlos Tevez affair in September.
West Ham were fined £5.5m but not docked points by the Premier League when found guilty of fielding the ineligible Tevez and fellow Argentina international Javier Mascherano during the 2006/7 season.
The Blades felt they were relegated unfairly on the final day of that season - West Ham survived following Tevez's winner at Manchester United - but lost their legal fight to be reinstated at the Hammers' expense.
The South Yorkshire club have since launched a legal fight to be compensated by the London club and Blades plc chairman Kevin McCabe told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It's down to the panel to make their award which should be in September.
"The formal arbitration hearing was concluded last month, but there'll be one more day at the end of July for further oral submissions."
The Blades' legal battle for a financial settlement is being heard by a Football Association tribunal.
