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.Stoke manager Tony Pulis is considering an appeal after being fined £10,000 and warned about his future conduct by the FA. Pulis was found guilty of improper conduct over his criticism of referee Lee Probert after a 2-1 Carling Cup defeat by Liverpool last month.
Pulis, who attended a personal hearing, said: "I'm very disappointed with the outcome. I have requested written reasons and am considering an appeal." The Potters manager had been infuriated by several of Probert's decisions at the Britannia Stadium.
SFO asked to look at bid 'corruption'
The Serious Fraud Office have been asked to investigate allegations that Fifa members asked for money and an honour during England's bid for the 2018 World Cup. Damian Collins, a Conservative MP, has written to the SFO about claims made to a Parliamentary committee by former England 2018 chairman Lord Triesman in May.
Triesman told a hearing in May there had been "improper and unethical" behaviour by Fifa members. He said the then FIFA vice-president Jack Warner asked for money to build an education centre in Trinidad and Paraguay member Nicolas Leoz asked for a knighthood.
