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.

Michael Horak scored four tries as England won the Churchill Cup final rehearsal at Vancouver's Thunderbird Stadium here on Saturday.

The London Irish full-back needed just 68 minutes for his contribution to a six-try victory warm-up for this Saturday's showdown with the Eagles.

Horak went over in the sixth minute and was followed by Iain Balshaw and Pete Anglesea as England led 19-5 at half-time.

Horak added two more in the first three minutes of the second half and scored his fourth just before his substitution 12 minutes from time. Olly Barkley kicked three conversions while David Hodges and and Cayo Nicolau gave the Eagles some respectability.
