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.

The retrial of three footballers and a Malaysian businessman accused of fixing football matches for a Far East betting syndicate will begin on 4 June at Winchester Crown Court, it was decided at a brief hearing in London yesterday.

Earlier this month, a jury at Winchester failed to reach verdicts in the case against the former Liverpool and Southampton goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar, the ex-Wimbledon and Aston Villa striker John Fashanu (above) the former Wimbledon goalkeeper Hans Segers, and a Malaysian businessman, Heng Suan Lim.
