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.

Newcastle United have been watching the Cardiff City central defender, Daniel Gabbidon, as Graeme Souness looks to tighten up his defence.

Newcastle United have been watching the Cardiff City central defender, Daniel Gabbidon, as Graeme Souness looks to tighten up his defence.

Souness has also been keeping an eye on Manchester United's John O'Shea and Jean-Alain Boumsong of Rangers.

But Laurent Robert has expressed his unhappiness at being left on the bench. The winger claims Souness has gone back on his word to play him in home games after leaving him on the bench for eight out of nine matches since he took over.

Robert said: "The first time the manager talked to me he said I am on the bench away, but at home I will play. He changed the decision, that's not very good. I don't really know if the chairman or manager like me. I have been at Newcastle for four seasons and I would prefer to stay here and play football. We are a big team, with a big stadium and great fans. For me, my head is 100 per cent Newcastle."
