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.Dan Lydiate, the Wales flanker, is to leave Newport Gwent Dragons at the end of this season.
The Dragons confirmed that Lydiate, last season's Six Nations player of the tournament, will take up a contract "with an undisclosed European team".
The chances are that Lydiate, who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, will follow the current trend and head to France.
The Dragons rugby director, Robert Beale, admitted the Welsh region could not compete financially with what 24-year-old Lydiate had been offered elsewhere.
"We are obviously very disappointed that Danny has decided to leave the Dragons," Beale said.
