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.

The Newcastle United manager, Alan Pardew, is demanding up-to-the minute news of his players from international managers after losing Tim Krul and Fabricio Coloccini during a costly break.

Goalkeeper Krul damaged an elbow in training with the Netherlands after the World Cup qualifier victory over Turkey last week, and defender Coloccini returned from Argentina duty with a hamstring problem.

Krul is likely to be missing for three games, while Coloccini is a doubt for Monday night's trip to Everton at the very least and Pardew said: "We have put in a procedure now that we want all international sides to inform us what the players are doing. We are handing these players over, to an extent on our pay, so we want to make sure they are looked after."
