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 have signed teenage defender Kevin Mbabu from Swiss side Servette.
The 17-year-old, who is predominantly a central defender, has put pen to paper on a three-and-a-half-year deal after a successful trial and will go into the club's development squad.
The Switzerland Under-19 international told the club's official website, http://www.nufc.co.uk: "I am delighted to join Newcastle United.
"Today is a big day for me. I've always wanted to sign for a club in the Premier League and Newcastle is one of the biggest there is.
"I want to finish my development here with the reserves before one day training with the first team and hopefully breaking into the first team."
