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.Australia made it 11 wins from 11 games under Terry Venables to advance to the final qualifying phase for next year's World Cup finals. The former QPR midfielder Ned Zelic, now with Auxerre, scored the opening goal in Sydney when he hit a 25-yard volley after six minutes. And Australia completed a 5-0 aggregate win when Graham Arnold, the 33-year-old Hiroshima Sanfrecce striker, lobbed Kiwi keeper Jason Batty in the 54th minute. Australia will now play the fourth-placed Asian team in the final regional eliminator in November.
Celtic's players gave their new coach, Wim Jansen, a welcome to the club with 21 goals against a Dutch amateur side last night. The Scots overwhelmed FC Beatrix in a friendly at the start of their three-match tour of the Netherlands, despite being without foreign stars Paolo Di Canio and Jorge Cadete. Celtic won 21-0, Tommy Johnson scoring six and Alan Stubbs, playing in midfield, hitting a hat-trick. Substitute John-Paul McBride also claimed a hat-trick, with Simon Donnelly and David Hannah grabbing two apiece. Di Canio has refused to go on the tour, claiming he needs to do work on his fitness. Meanwhile Cadete has not returned from Portugal, insisting he has hepatitis A - but Celtic have yet to see sight of a doctor's certificate confirming his condition.
