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.Bristol have won their appeal against having to play two games within 48 hours this weekend. They had been scheduled to play an Allied Dunbar Premiership game at London Irish on Friday and a Cheltenham & Gloucester Cup quarter-final at Bedford on Sunday. The English Rugby Partnership Board has, however, ruled that the Premiership game must take priority and has asked Bedford to offer Bristol an alternative date for the Cup tie.
The England A winger Steve Hackney has signed a part-time contract at the Allied Dunbar Premiership Two club, Waterloo.
