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 Football Association have received one piece of good news this week after they were granted planning permission to build the St George's Park national football centre in Burton-upon-Trent.
East Staffordshire Borough Council have approved the FA's plans for the site, which will be the training base for the senior England team and 21 other squads supported by the FA.
England manager Fabio Capello told www.thefa.com: "The venue will be an inspirational site, a place for coaches and players to work, learn and develop.
"This is a much-needed facility and through my own experiences at Coverciano in Italy, I understand the importance of the centre for England."
The FA have been asked by FIFA to prepare a report as part of an investigation into comments about England's rival bidders for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup allegedly made by former FA chairman Lord Triesman.
