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.George Graham, the former Arsenal manager, has lost his job as a football summariser on BBC Radio Five Live. Graham, sacked by Arsenal last February and banned for a year in July after being found guilty of misconduct by a Football Association disciplinary commission, has since been working in the media.
But two days after admitting in the Sun newspaper that he received pounds 140,500 in transfer monies, BBC Radio announced that Graham would not be working on the network again.
This comes a day after the FA and Premier League announ- ced he was unlikely to face further action over his admissions. Graham admitted receiving money, which he then paid to Arsenal, from an agent, Rune Hauge, after the transfers of John Jensen and Pal Lyderson to Highbury.
