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.

Just as you were thinking things had gone all quiet on the England front, the People carries a helpful reminder that a successor to Terry Venables has still to be named - and puts forward Ron Atkinson as the latest runner.

Big Ron, 56 and heading "upstairs" at Coventry at the end of the season, apparently could be made England's general manager, wise-cracking his way through press and television interviews while Bryan Robson gets on with the serious business of coaching.

Mark Stein's move from Chelsea to Sheffield United, rejected by the player earlier in the season, may be on again, the News of the World says, predicting a pounds 1.3m move by Howard Kendall this week.

However, the People says that Stein's "Chelsea misery" is likely to be ended by a move to Crystal Palace.

The same paper anticipates an arrival at Stamford Bridge in the shape of Neil Ruddock, for whom Glenn Hoddle is supposedly lining up a pounds 3m bid, as well as comings and goings with an Italian flavour in the Midlands, with Coventry apparently eyeing up Padova defender Massimiliano Rosa and Aston Villa expecting a bid from Fiorentina for Serbian striker Savo Milosevic.
