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.Paul Lambert and his Aston Villa assistant Roy Keane snubbed a handshake with Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
With time still remaining in the match that finished 3-0 to the Blues, Jose Moruinho decided to head to the dressing room early; as he often does.
The Portuguese boss walked over to Lambert and Keane but the Scottish manager decided not to shake his hand, instead pointing to his watch to illustrate the game was still going on.
Mourinho then tapped Keane on the shoulder but was completely blanked by the former Manchester United captain.
Chelsea face Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League tonight, and after a draw in the opening group game against Schalke, Mourinho will risk star striker Diego Costa as he searches for three points.
“There is a risk, yes. There is a risk,” Mourinho admitted in his pre-match press conference at the stadium.
“But he plays. We assume the risk and he plays. So, hopefully, everything goes well and hopefully, from Tuesday to Sunday, he has enough period of time to be back on track again and play against Arsenal [on Sunday].”
