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.

He is to replace David Simpson, the former Bradford City chairman who took over at Scarborough from Geoffrey Richmond.

THE Santos trainer, Pepe, who played alongside Pele at the club in the 1960s, has resigned following Sunday's 4-1 defeat by Palmeiras. Their former striker, Serginho, who played for Brazil in the 1982 World Cup, has replaced Pepe.

REAL MADRID, who sacked their coach, Benito Floro, on Monday, have appointed Vicente del Bosque, a former player and a member of the club's technical staff, as caretaker- coach.
