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.BRIAN REDPATH, the Hawick No 8 who has this week had two operations on his jaw which was broken in the recent Scottish Districts v Auckland match, has formally complained to Lothian and Borders Police, alleging the injury was caused by a deliberate punch. The New Zealanders are due to leave on Monday after playing Wasps on Sunday.
MOSELEY have banned their Midlands lock, Steve Lloyd, for six matches following his sending-off for kicking against Sale two weeks ago. Lloyd has yet to appear before the North Midlands disciplinary committee.
GREG PROSSER, the Pontypridd lock forward, is free to play against Neath tomorrow in the Heineken League, even though he was ordered off at Llanelli two weeks ago. Prosser's personal hearing with the Welsh Rugby Union is to be heard next week after Tuesday's meeting was cancelled. He is now free to play until the hearing is held.
