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.

Exeter have signed the Australia utility forward Dean Mumm on a two-year deal. The 28-year-old, who has 33 caps and can play in the second and back rows, will leave the New South Wales Waratahs at the end of the current Super 15 season.

The Chiefs' head coach, Rob Baxter, said: "He's a very good signing for us and a very good player. We've been watching him since the start of the season and not only is he a back-five forward coming into his physical prime, he's also vastly experienced and a good leader. We believe he has got a lot of ingredients that we want him to bring to the club.

"Personally, I think it's a great credit to what the players have achieved this season – and where we are as a club – that a guy of that standing wants to come and play his rugby here in Exeter."
