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 Moore, the England hooker, is reconsidering his decision to retire after the World Cup.
Moore, who could have been playing his last game in tomorrow's quarter- final against Australia at Newlands in Cape Town, said yesterday: "I have had a long chat with Jack Rowell [the manager] and the upshot is that I am going to review my future.
"There are various reasons - which I won't go into - but I am thinking of continuing."
The news will upset the Australian wing David Campese, who had been issuing derisory statements about England in the build-up to the game. Told that Moore was going to retire, he responded simply: "Good".
Meanwhile, Max Brito, the Ivory Coast wing who was paralysed in the game with Tonga, will receive all the proceeds from ITV's phone-in competition today.
