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.

Huddersfield will be without Luke O'Donnell for the next six weeks, while the Australian loose forward will also miss the Exiles match next month. O'Donnell suffered a freak hamstring tear in the warm-up before the 40-18 home win over St Helens on Saturday.

His absence will be a blow to the Giants as O'Donnell has generally been regarded as the season's best import so far. and was one of the first players picked in the Exiles squad to play England at Headingley on 10 June. The overseas squad's coach Brian McClennan is expected to name a replacement back-rower and yesterday called up Leeds' New Zealand Test full-back Brent Webb.
