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.

KEITH SENIOR, the Sheffield Eagles' centre, will miss his side's Silk Cut Challenge Cup semi-final after being suspended for four games for his left hook on Barrie-Jon Mather in the last round.

Senior admitted striking Mather during the victory over Castleford last Saturday. He will be available for the Wembley final if Sheffield beat Salford next weekend, but he is appealing today against the length of his ban.

New Zealand will play Wales at either Cardiff or Swansea on 28 October and a Young England team in Gateshead on 4 November as part of their autumn tour. The three Tests against Great Britain will take place at the McAlpine Stadium, Huddersfield, Bolton's Reebok Stadium and Watford's Vicarage Road, on 31 October, 7 and 14 November.

The League's acting chief executive, Neil Tunnicliffe, said the choice of Watford for its first major rugby league match was a strategic one. He sees Watford as well placed for the Rugby League Conference, which is based in the South and Midlands.
