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.

Two new Australian coaches experienced contrasting fortunes with their new charges yesterday, while Paris St-Germain managed to pull off a victory without a man in charge.

The former Kangaroo Test forward, Bob Lindner, engineered Oldham's second win of the season - 18-14 at Sheffield - to ease their relegation fears, but Stuart Raper, the new Castleford coach, watched his club go four points adrift at the bottom thanks to a 13-8 home defeat by Paris, who sacked their coach, Peter Mulholland, a week ago after seven defeats in a row.

Halifax moved into fourth place with a 42-30 win over Warrington at Thrum Hall, where Michael Jackson turned the game with two tries in 14 minutes in the second half.
