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.

THE London Broncos plan to have their former player Tulsen Tollett back on loan from Harlequins and in their side to meet Wigan in the Silk Cut Challenge Cup semi-final on Sunday.

Tollett, a Great Britain tourist in 1996, joined Quins last October, but could return to fill the problem stand-off position at Huddersfield.

Luke Goodwin is Cup-tied, Glen Air has not yet staked a convincing claim to the position and the Broncos used their back-row forward, Peter Gill, there against Hull KR in the last round.

The London chief executive, Tony Rea, was in negotiations with Tollett and Harlequins last night and a Broncos spokesman said: "We are pretty confident."

The Leeds prop Barrie McDermott is to appear at a disciplinary hearing tomorrow, hoping to avoid a suspension that would rule him out of the Super League season after being sent off in a friendly at York last Friday.

A delegation from the Australian Rugby League, including its former director- general, Ken Arthurson, is flying into Britain this weekend to fight through the courts for pounds 400,000 it claims still to be owed from the World Cup here in 1995.
