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.

Three Serie A clubs, Atalanta, Novara and Siena, are among 22 Italian clubs facing investigations over possible mach-fixing.

The former European Cup finalists Sampdoria, now playing in Serie B, were also named along with 52 players by the Italian federation (FIGC) yesterday. They have been referred to the FIGC's disciplinary committee.

FIGC listed 33 matches, nearly all in Serie B but including two in the Coppa Italia, as being under suspicion of manipulation over the last few seasons. Atalanta's former captain Cristiano Doni, already banned over match-fixing, is among the players listed in the latest investigation.
