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.Andre Villas-Boas insists Hugo Lloris is happy with life at Tottenham Hotspur, but has warned the France captain he will have to be patient in his bid to take the starting spot away from Brad Friedel.
Many assumed Lloris would immediately be installed as first choice following his £8m deadline day move from Lyons, but ahead of tomorrow's match at Reading, Villas-Boas insisted Friedel was still his No 1.
"We have had a conversation with Hugo," Villas-Boas said. "We are extremely happy that he is part of this squad. We have no doubts about his talent and his future in the club, but against Reading we have made the decision to continue with Brad."
