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.Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo will not face any disciplinary action after kicking out at Tottenham's Michael Dawson at the weekend.
Ronaldo was seen to aim a little flick at Dawson after being tackled in Saturday's goalless Barclays Premier League draw at White Hart Lane.
Referee Mike Dean, who did not take action during the game, has looked at the incident but has not deemed it serious.
A Football Association spokesman said: "We contacted the referee, who confirmed he didn't see the incident at the time and, having reviewed footage, he has also confirmed he would not have sent the player off for violent conduct had he seen it.
"On that basis, no further action will be taken."
