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.Reports suggest Arsenal have joined the race to sign Manchester United's out of favour defender Mikael Silvestre.
The Frenchman had been on the brink of a move away from Old Trafford, reportedly for either Sunderland or Manchester City.
But Arsene Wenger, who is looking to bolster his defence, made his intentions clear to the defender and Silvestre is reportedly keen on the move south.
The former France international has been with United for nine years now after joining the club from Inter Milan for a fee of £4m.
But his first-team chances are going to be restricted this season. Alex Ferguson has plenty of cover in defence and has told the player he is free to leave the club.
