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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Wakefield Trinity have admitted giving up hope of retaining the services of their scrum-half, Danny Brough. The player is out of contract at the end of the season, but is now expected to join Huddersfield before then, with a substantial transfer fee going in the opposite direction. Trinity's executive director, Diane Maskill, admitted that talks with the Giants had already taken place. By way of consolation for Trinity, they are still expected to sign the Hull KR playmaker Paul Cooke, initially on loan, this week.
Crusaders could give a second new signing a debut against Catalan Dragons on Friday, with the former Queensland full-back, Clinton Schifcofske, set to join Gareth Thomas in their squad. Two Super League players face possible bans tonight, with Huddersfield's Andy Raleigh charged with punching and Salford's Jeremy Smith with use of the forearm.
