Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

Wakefield Trinity, favour-ites again to be relegated from Super League, have suffered a blow before the new season by losing their hooker, David March, for the first two months.

March has broken his wrist in three places in training. Already banned for three matches after being sent off for striking in the final game of last season – which saw Wakefield to safety – he will now miss the early rounds of Super League.

As he is the only specialist hooker at the club, his absence could force Wakefield's new coach, Peter Roe, into the transfer market.

Hull hope to sign the former Bradford and Leeds wing or centre, Graham Mackay, to complete their back division. The Australian, 33, had been planning to retire after completing his stint playing rugby union with Leeds Tykes in May.
