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.An 86th-minute goal from substitute David Whyte gave Charlton a fortunate FA Cup fourth- round win in front of a capacity crowd at The Valley last night.
Their Second Division opponents, a goal down at half-time, equalised in the 57th minute after Charlton's goalkeeper, Mike Salmon, blundered. However he redeemed himself with a string of fine saves as Brentford piled on the pressure.
Then, with Charlton hanging on, Paul Mortimer suddenly broke clear and was pulled down on the edge of the area by Jamie Bates and Whyte hit home his 86th minute free-kick in off the post.
Bryan Robson, the manager of off-form Middlesbrough, suffered another 90 minutes of frustration at the Riverside Stadium where Boro were held to a goalless draw by Wimbledon.
