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.

England beat Turkey 2-0 yesterday in their Under-16 international in Izmir. Both goals were scored by the Barnsley youngster Rory Fallon.

Stefan Postma, the Utrecht goalkeeper for whom Liverpool are considering a pounds 700,000 move, is to play for the Anfield club's reserves at Preston tonight.

Wolves are giving trials to the fourth-choice Liverpool goalkeeper, Jorgen Nielsen, and the Greek central defender Dimitris Argyropoulos. Nielsen, a Dane, cost Liverpool pounds 400,000 from Hvidovre two years ago but he has yet to make a first-team appearance at Anfield.

Valladolid must forfeit the match they played against Real Betis on Sunday because they briefly fielded too many foreign players, the Spanish football federation ruled yesterday. The competitions committee has turned a 2- 1 home victory for Valladolid into a 3-0 defeat.
