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.Leigh Centurions, currently bottom of the First Division, have signed three players from Super League's Wigan Warriors - half-back Keiron Purtill in a permanent deal and the forwards Andy Grundy and David Whittle on loan.
Matthew Burke has been cleared to make his return to the New South Wales team for their game against defending Super 12 champions, the Auckland Blues on Monday. The Australian Test full-back missed the Waratahs' last three outings after straining medial ligaments in his right knee. NSW will have to do without their scrum-half Sam Payne who damaged his cruciate and lateral ligaments last week and is out of action for the rest of the year.
