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.

Welcome to Patrick Barclay's Euro 2012 video diary.

In the final instalment of the Euro 2012 video diary, Patrick is joined by former Liverpool and Aston Villa manager Gerard Houllier.

The Frenchman gives his thoughts on a memorable tournament and selects his best match of the Euros.

Following Italy's victory over Germany, Patrick gets the view from La Stampa journalist Marco Ansaldo, who says "Spain are not in good condition".

And finally, with the tournament nearly at an end, the focus will inevitably turn to the 2014 World Cup. Patrick speaks to Flavio Rohifs, a Brazil World Cup co-ordinator to find out the latest.
