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 City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has been suspended for three league games after being found guilty of violent conduct by the Football Association, the club have announced.
The 27-year-old was charged after an incident that saw Stoke's Rory Delap sent off during City's 1-0 defeat at the Britannia Stadium on 31 January.
Referee Martin Atkinson did not see all of the altercation but, after watching video footage, informed the FA he would have shown Wright-Phillips a red card for violent conduct had he spotted the incident.
Wright-Phillips will therefore miss City's next three Barclays Premier League matches - all away from home - at Portsmouth on Saturday, against Liverpool on 22 February and at West Ham on 1 March.
He will, however, be available for the two-legged Uefa Cup last-32 encounter with FC Copenhagen later this month.
