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.CLIVE WOODWARD'S England squad will be on parade when they endure four days of training with the Royal Marines at the end of next month in preparation for October's World Cup.
The squad play a Test match in Australia on 26 June, before reporting for duty at the Commando Training Centre at Lympstone, in Devon. Woodward said: "This is an excellent opportunity to complement our own training for the World Cup within a challenging environment. It will provide the players with severe tests of their team work, intelligence and ability to make instant decisions in difficult situations."
The programme includes sessions with fitness instructors and military activities, as well as normal rugby training. Kevin De Val, a Royal Marines spokesman, said: "We are honoured to be working with England. Marines are unique in that they train officers and men together."
