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 British Lions prop Peter Wright will miss Scotland's home international against Western Samoa on 18 November after being suspended for six weeks at a Scottish disciplinary hearing. The ban follows his sending- off for verbally abusing the referee Ken McCartney during a league match at Gala last month.

Cardiff have asked Llanelli, to pay compensation to Mike Hall, after a clash with the lock Tony Copsey in September that left their player with a fractured cheekbone.

Hall refused to take Copsey to court, but is concerned over his loss of earnings and Cardiff are now acting on his behalf for what is the first request of this type in Welsh rugby.
