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 Rugby League's disciplinary commissioner is investigating a series of charges. They include allegations of bottle-throwing by Castleford supporters and that the Cas player, Richard Fletcher, damaged a dug-out by throwing a bottle. The Tigers coach, Dave Woods, is also charged with criticising the match referee after Rovers' 18-16 win.
Rovers' Byron Ford is charged with making an obscene gesture to the crowd after scoring a try and the club with failing to control its supporters and keep them off the playing surface.
Meanwhile, the Leeds centre, Chev Walker, has been passed fit to play against Toulouse in the Powergen Challenge Cup semi-final at Huddersfield on Sunday. Ryan Bailey is also ready to return after two weeks in quarantine with mumps, but Jamie Jones-Buchanan is ruled out after straining a quad muscle in training.
Toulouse will be at full strength apart from their injured Australian loose forward, Trent Robinson.
The Wakefield half-back, Jamie Rooney, has joined the growing ranks of players ruled out for the rest of the season with serious knee injuries.
