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.

Rugby League

David Young is to return to rugby union, after Cardiff yesterday agreed a fee with Salford to take him back to South Wales at the end of this Super League season, writes Dave Hadfield.

Young, who left the club to join Leeds six years ago, has captained the Welsh rugby league side and says that he has ambitions to win back his place in the Welsh union pack.

Martin Offiah hopes to return after a back injury for Wigan's match against Paris St-Germain on Sunday. That reopens the possibility of his playing in the first of the cross-code meetings with Bath, under league rules at Maine Road next Wednesday. Another Wigan player, Nigel Wright, is due to make his comeback after a long absence with a serious ankle injury in the Alliance team on Monday.

Andy Northey, who played in St Helens' Challenge Cup winning side on Saturday, will be out for about six weeks after tearing groin muscles in the first half of the final at Wembley.
