"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."
"After weeks of political controversy, Aston Villa will take on Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C in Birmingham Thursday evening without the latter team's fans allowed to attend. Supporters were banned from the 6 November Europa League game after Birmingham's Safety Advisory Group (SAG) raised concerns about fan safety, sparking a political controversy that threatens to overshadow the match. Critics have claimed the decision is antisemitic and punishes law-abiding fans for the actions of a minority."
"The UK government pledged - unsuccessfully - to try and overturn the ruling while the Board of Deputies of British Jews president Phil Rosenberg warned the ridiculous ban risked giving the impression there are no-go' zones in this country. The war in Gaza is ultimately at the heart of the heightened tensions, after a Maccabi game in Amsterdam last year saw reports of Jew hunting', anti-Arab chants and Palestinian flags torn down as trouble spilled onto the streets."
Independent journalists cover issues like reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and rely on donations to fund on-the-ground reporting without paywalls. Donations enable reporters to present both sides and keep reporting free. Aston Villa will play Maccabi Tel Aviv in Birmingham without visiting supporters after Birmingham's Safety Advisory Group banned Maccabi fans from the 6 November Europa League match over safety concerns. Critics called the ban antisemitic and unfair to law-abiding fans. The UK government failed to overturn the ruling, and the Board of Deputies warned the ban could create the impression of 'no-go' zones. Tensions stem from the Gaza war and previous incidents of violence and hateful chants at Maccabi fixtures.
