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.Despite fears that this weekend's FA Cup programme would be affected significantly by the continuing wet weather, there were grounds for cautious optimism yesterday, with no early postponements of any of the scheduled third-round ties.
One tie at risk is Cambridge United's home game against Millwall. An inspection will be held at the Abbey stadium at 9am today to determine whether the game can go ahead.
Gillingham's home tie against Sheffield Wednesday was given the all-clear yesterday after the match referee Paul Taylor declared himself satisfied with the surface at Priestfield Stadium. Taylor decided the pitch had recovered from recent rain, which earlier in the week saw the league games against Wimbledon and Norwich postponed.
Supporters are nevertheless advised to check the latest news bulletins before setting off for today's matches.
