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.

St Helens are set to give the 18-year-old half-back, Gary Wheeler, his first-team debut in the Challenge Cup tie against the London Skolars on Sunday. Wheeler is likely to be on the bench, with the vastly more experienced Keiron Cunningham also due to figure after an injury lay-off.

With a Super League match at Warrington five days later, Saints' coach, Daniel Anderson, plans to rest Jason Cayless, Sean Long, Paul Sculthorpe and James Roby against the National League Two side.

Martin Aspinwall, who has been out of Huddersfield's first team all year after a knee reconstruction, has made a successful comeback in the reserves and might be considered for the Cup tie against Halifax this Sunday.
