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.Google has made the World Cup stadiums in South Africa available in Street View and 3D, giving football fans a virtual pitch-level experience.
All 10 football grounds can now be navigated in 360 degrees, after images of the country’s seven specially built arenas were collected using the Street View Trike.
Soccer City in Johannesburg, Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane and the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban are among the pitches available to view.
Street View has also teamed up with South African Tourism to provide information about local attractions, virtual imagery and the maps will feature icons showing the best places to watch the match.
