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.Castleford could face competition for their coach, John Joyner, from the Perth-based Western Reds. Joyner has been in charge at Castleford for three years and is recognised to have done a good job on limited resources, but his contract expires at the end of this season. The former Great Britain international said he had not been approached by the Reds.
"But you have to consider opportunities that come along," he said. "I would never say I would not do it - especially if it was a good offer and I fancied it."
The Reds were one of four clubs launched into what was the Winfield Cup 15 months ago and they were, in the short term, the most successful.
But the cost of travelling across Australia every other week and paying for visiting teams to do so has been a heavy financial burden, leaving the club's future far from certain.
If they are in a position to make a bid for Joyner, however, Castleford would be loath to lose one of the best young coaches in the British game.
Halifax, who are still waiting for an answer from the Widnes stand-off, Christian Tyrer, plan the announcement of another new signing - which they describe as a very major one for the club - tomorrow morning.
Warrington have rejected an approach from St Helens for their Welsh international stand-off, Iestyn Harris. Saints were said to be willing to give two players and cash for Harris, but Warrington have turned down the idea out of hand.
