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.

The Newcastle winger Ben Gollings has joined Worcester. The England Sevens player joined the Falcons from Harl-equins last season and started 10 Premiership games for the club.

"We have decided to release Ben as we felt, with the strength in depth of our backs, there was limited opportunity for first-team rugby," director of rugby Rob Andrew said. "With Epi Taione moving back to the wing and Matthew Tait joining the squad, as well as the likes of Tom May and Michael Stephenson being available, we feel we are well covered. At full-back we have Matthew Burke, Dave Walder and Joe Shaw who can all play there, so Ben's chances were realistically going to be limited."

Meanwhile, the RFU have denied that Australia will play New Zealand at Twickenham in December."The only approach the RFU has received was for Australia and the New Zealand Barbarians to play a fixture at Twickenham but this was declined due to the fixture schedule," a spokesman said.
