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.

The England Academy coach, Dave Elliott, has called for more of his victorious under-18s to be given a chance in Super League next season.

The English youngsters clinched a 2-0 series win over their Australian counterparts on Friday night and Elliott says that many of them are ready for the big time.

Some, like Hull's Reece Lyne and Adam Milner of Castleford, have already had a taste of Super League, but Elliott would like to see the Wigan scrum-half, Sam Powell, and Warrington's Evans twins – Rhys and Ben – get an extended run.

"My concern is that they won't get enough opportunities," he said. "But a lot of them are ready to have a go and I hope Super League coaches take a risk with them."
