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.Catalan Dragons scrum-half Scott Dureau faces an indefinite spell out of the game after undergoing surgery on a tumour behind his eye.
The Australian had an operation on Wednesday and his club say the tumour was removed without any complications.
"It's bad news that affects the club in its entirety but we need to be united and strong and overcome it as a team," said coach Laurent Frayssinous.
"Scott must focus on his health and we want to express our support to Scott and his family."
Dureau joined the Dragons from Newcastle Knights and was named in the 2011 and 2012 Super League Dream Teams.
