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.Dave Jones, the Wolverhampton Wanderers manager, has been asked by the Football Association to explain the comments he made about referee Uriah Rennie after last Saturday's 2-1 defeat by Bolton.
Jones described the performance of the official as "unacceptable". Rennie turned down two penalty appeals from Wolves.
"I made my comments and I stand by them," Jones said yesterday. "There are some quotes that appeared that I didn't say but I'm happy to write down the ones I did. I made my feelings clear but I don't think I was abusive or derogatory."
Meanwhile, Henri Camara has been charged by the FA over the tackle that resulted in Southampton's Jason Dodd being carried from the pitch.
After reviewing video evidence, referee Mark Halsey said he believes the tackle was "reckless" and "endangered" Dodd, and therefore should have warranted a red card.
