The Week in Review
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.PRIDE of place goes to those 'unloved' Canaries in the Uefa Cup. Norwich City did what no British club had done - they won away against Bayern Munich. Relishing their role as more sophisticated underdogs than Wimbledon, they took a two-goal lead after 30 minutes through Goss and Bowen. Bayern could only get one back.
Aston Villa's 1-1 draw against Deportivo La Coruna sets them up nicely for progress alongside Norwich.
A two-goal lead does not always guarantee success. Manchester United got there in 17 minutes less than Norwich against Galatasaray in the European Cup but were then overrun by the Turks and only a late Cantona goal gained a 3-3 draw.
Great Britain dominated New Zealand at Wembley, 17-0. Rugby league's rising star, Jason Robinson, scored two tries on his
debut. Another Wigan winger, Martin Offiah, returned after five months absence and scored for his club.
London and South-West won the first matches in rugby union's unloved Divisional Championship and Wales beat Japan 55-5. Not much to set the pulse racing there, but the All Blacks arrived - that should.
