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.

Martin Jol is delighted by the way Dimitar Berbatov has started life at Fulham, but he will have to do without the striker when Manchester City come to Craven Cottage today.

Berbatov has shone in his first two-and-a-half appearances for Fulham and scored twice as they defeated West Bromwich 3-0 in their last home game but will miss the City match, and the next two weeks, through injury.

"He was a No 9 but he played in a No 10 role so for us it was quite good that he was there, but he is injured now and can't play tomorrow so that is a big disappointing thing," Jol said. "He will be out for the next two weeks."
