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.

England left-back Ashley Cole has fully recovered from his fractured ankle and is back in the Chelsea squad for tomorrow's game against Tottenham at White Hart Lane.

Cole will start on the bench against Spurs despite having no comeback matches since breaking his ankle against Everton earlier this season.

His return is also a massive boost for England boss Fabio Capello ahead of the World Cup finals in South Africa this summer.

Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti said: "Ashley has not played but he is very fit and trained all week with us.

"He will be on the bench tomorrow."
