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.

Orrell are to pursue their compensation claim against the Rugby Football Union, even though the decision to postpone their opening game of the season against Bath has been reversed. The Courage League One match has been restored to 31 August following the cancellation of the Anglo- Welsh Challenge. Orrell claim they do not have sufficient time to organise full sponsorship.

Cardiff added another Wales player to their squad on Tuesday when Gwyn Jones, of Llanelli, became the fourth international to join the club this summer. He will link up with fellow newcomers and Wales team-mates Justin Thomas, Leigh Davies and Robert Howley. But Jones will have to wait until the new year before making his Cardiff debut as he recovers from a operation to repair the shoulder he injured in Australia.
