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.NORWICH CITY won yet more admirers but lost the match, and the tie, to Internazionale in the Uefa Cup. Dennis Bergkamp's goal put them out 2-0 on aggregate. Leeds kept up their distant chase of Manchester United and a bizarre rumour linked them with Paul Gascoigne, along with every other ambitious club.

Shane Warne haunted New Zealand - 18 wickets in a three-match series - while another bete noire of England, Waqar Younis bowled out Zimbabwe with a career-best 13 for 135.
To the massive indifference of most of the country, but
essential to the inexplicably large crowd at Twickenham, Oxford beat Cambridge 20-8 in the University Match.
