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.Scotland centre Alan Tait remains in World Cup contention after an injury scare proved less serious than initially feared. Tait suffered a lateral ligament strain of his left ankle in Tuesday's 40-20 win against the Edinburgh Reivers at Netherdale. Following treatment, Tait's swift recovery suggests he will contend a place in Scotland's World Cup opener against South Africa on 3 October.
Canada, who face France in their World Cup opener on 2 October, cruised to a 54-18 win over British Columbia in Vancouver on Tuesday night in their latest World Cup warm-up match.
