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 South African Rugby Football Union yesterday postponed indefinitely a drugs hearing into three players because of fears the proceedings could have been unconstitutional. Rian Oberholzer, the chief executive, said in a statement that SARFU's regulations, which did not allow for legal representation at disciplinary hearings, could be in conflict with the new constitution of South Africa.

Jan Machacek, the Czech Republic international, has signed a two-year contract with Newport. The 25-year-old has scored nine tries in 22 appearances in the Welsh club's back row.
