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.In a seven-goal thriller under the bright lights of Anfield, Liverpool brought to an end Manchester City’s unbeaten run in frantic style. It was an explosive, full-blooded affair, with both teams deploying the sort of attacking football which makes the Premier League so entertaining, and confirmed that Pep Guardiola’s men can in fact be beaten.
In this week’s Indy Football Podcast, host Ed Malyon, chief football writer Miguel Delaney and London football correspondent Jack Pitt-Brooke revisit Sunday’s clash and ask what the result means for the months ahead.
Arsenal’s trip Bournemouth is also discussed following yet another upset. The 2-1 defeat by Eddie Howe’s side means the north Londoners are now eight points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, with hopes of securing a Champions League spot looking increasingly faint.
Added to this annual dip in form and results, Arsenal are now bracing themselves for the loss of Alexis Sanchez who looks set to join rivals Manchester United for an expected £35m. Good business from Arsenal or a sign of the times? This and more from another weekend of jam-packed Premier League action.
