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.

Wigan kept the pressure on Bradford yesterday with a 30-22 win at Castleford. Adrian Lamb, Kris Radlinski and Steve Renouf set the visitors off with Jonathan Roper replying. The Warriors took charge in the second half when two tries from Paul Johnson and Gary Connolly increased the lead to 26-8. The Tigers reduced it with Chris Charles and Mark Lennon tries. Wigan made it safe when Brian Carney went over, and a try by Michael Smith four minutes later did not save the Tigers.

Hull secured a top-three finish with a 40-8 win over Salford. Steve Prescott kicked five penaties, while Tony Smith ran in two tries for the hosts who also saw Tony Grimaldi, Matt Crowther, Paul Cooke, David Maiden and Lee Jackson go over. Stuart Littler got Salford's consolation try.
