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.

Harlequins fly-half Nick Evans has signed a two-year contract extension with the Aviva Premiership club.

Evans, who won 16 caps for New Zealand, has pledged his career at the Twickenham Stoop until at least 2013.

He joined Quins from Auckland Blues two years ago, establishing himself among the most effective overseas signings made by an English club during rugby union's professional era

"Harlequins allow me to play the style of rugby that I believe brings out the best in me as a player," he said.

"We have a great team here at Quins, right the way down from the International and senior players, to the academy boys who are breaking through, to the coaches.

"I am happy both on and off the pitch, and am looking forward over the next two years to helping the club compete for those top-table places and challenge for silverware."

Quins rugby director Conor O'Shea added: "Whether you are a coach, player or supporter of Harlequins, this is fantastic news for everyone at the club."
