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.

England were this afternoon drawn into what is already being dubbed the 'Group of Death' with games against Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica awaiting them in Brazil.

And it would appear FA chairman Greg Dyke would agree with that analysis.

Although the circumstances of the video remain unclear, Mr Dyke is seen laughing and slashing his finger across his neck - does this mean England are waving a white flag already?
