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.

World champions New Zealand will feature among England's autumn Test opponents at Twickenham next year.

The All Blacks, World Cup winners on home soil three weeks ago, will conclude the QBE Internationals series on December 1, 2012.

England, currently reeling from a miserable World Cup campaign on and off the pitch, face four Test matches in an autumn programme announced by the Rugby Football Union.

They start against Fiji on November 10, then host Australia seven days later before tacking South Africa on November 24 and finally New Zealand.

England's next game is their RBS 6 Nations opener against Scotland at Murrayfield on February 4, while the 2012 summer schedule sees a three-Test series against the Springboks in South Africa.
