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.Unsettled Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has returned to the club's Carrington training ground on schedule.
Tevez was due to undergo a session this afternoon following a four-day break in Tenerife.
The Argentina striker sat out the victory at the weekend against West Ham, which emphasised City's title credentials, as he was banned.
But following the win news broke that Tevez had handed in a written transfer request - which has been rejected by the club.
It is understood he is unlikely to travel to Turin tomorrow with the squad ahead of the Europa League match against Juventus.
Manager Roberto Mancini apparently made that decision before the weekend, knowing the game was a dead rubber.
Mancini is currently back in Italy for a minor operation and will probably not speak to Tevez before Friday.
City do not have a Barclays Premier League match until next Monday when they face Everton at Eastlands.
Mancini's first thoughts on Tevez will come tomorrow when the Italian hosts a press conference in Turin.
City and Lech Poznan are already through to the next stage of the tournament with Juventus, now second in Serie A, eliminated.
Tevez is one of a number of senior players who are expected to be rested. His absence could leave City short of attacking options as Roque Santa Cruz is not included on their squad list.
Mancini has already indicated that former Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli will travel, even though he was racially abused by some Juventus fans last season.
