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.

Warrington have dispelled any theory that they might claw back Kevin Penny from Widnes for their Challenge Cup final against Huddersfield.

The Wolves could have brought Penny back from his loan spell, as a replacement for Chris Riley, who had to be carried off for X-rays on a neck injury on Saturday. However, Riley, himself a wing replacement for Brian Carney, who has a broken arm, has been passed fit to return to training and could even play in the Super League rematch with Wigan on Friday. That would mean Penny, who has been rebuilding his confidence at Widnes, being left there for the rest of the season.

Terry Newton has played his last game for Bradford after fracturing his cheekbone at Harlequins on Saturday. The Test hooker has agreed a two-year contract at Wakefield from next season. The Bulls have only the slimmest of chances of reaching the play-offs this season, but have continued their rebuilding by signing the Cronulla full-back, Brett Kearney, and are expected to add the Fijian World Cup player, Daryl Millard, to their squad for 2010.

Wigan's Phil Bailey is another who will not play again this year, after damaging his Achilles tendon in the cup semi-final defeat by Warrington.

One of Australia's highest-profile players, Greg Inglis, has been suspended indefinitely by the Melbourne Storm, after an alleged assault on his girlfriend that left her with a black eye.
