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.

John Fashanu has announced he is to manage the business affairs of the boxer Herbie Hide.

Hide had been due to hold a press conference with the promoter Frank Warren in London to talk about the first defence of his World Boxing Organisation title in January, but failed to show up. However, 15 minutes after Warren left, Hide arrived with Fashanu.

The former England striker, who started his career with Norwich City, said: "Herbie will be with my management company from now on. Obviously we have the connection of a Nigerian background and we both grew up in Norwich."
