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.

Bridgend have signed Justin Burrell, the Neath back-row forward, and 23-year-old Peter Maitland, who ran for Wales in the 1994 Commonwealth Games.

Leicester yesterday announced three more signings: Rob Liley, the Sale stand-off, Neil Fletcher, the Moseley second row, and Huddersfield rugby league back, Greg Austin. The new signings join Craig Joiner and Austin Healey as the summer arrivals at Welford Road.

Kevin Bowring, Wales's coach, has called for an explosive opening to their Australia tour match against New South Wales Country at Weebollabolla Oval on Saturday. After four successive defeats and just a week to the second Test, Bowring commented: "We have got to take the game to them early on, it is about mental hardness and concentration". Lock Gareth Llewellyn will captain a side containing 10 of the first Test team with centre Gareth Thomas maintaining his 100 per cent tour record with his sixth start.
