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.

John Jeavons-Fellows, one of England's two representatives on the International Rugby Board, is set to become chairman of the Rugby Football Union executive committee. He is expected to retain his IRB position.

Junior Paramore, the Western Samoan flanker, has laid a complaint of assault against Ian Jones, the All Black lock, over an incident during a New Zealand provincial championship match on 9 September. Paramore left the field during a match between Counties and North Harbour with an eye problem after an incident he alleged involved Jones. Paramore's brother, Salevana, is to reappear in court next Tuesday on a charge of assaulting Jones after the match.
