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.

Blackburn have announced the signing of Brazilian full-back Bruno Ribeiro.

The defender joins Rovers on a free transfer, signing a three-year deal with the option of a further 12 months following a trial with Steve Kean's Lancashire side.

Bruno, 28, has been working with Rovers for much of the summer and travelled to the club's pre-season camp in Austria as well as playing in pre-season games.

Blackburn have confirmed he could be in the squad to face Wolves in tomorrow's Barclays Premier League opener.
