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 Union

Nottingham have added two more Canadian internationals to their ranks. The No 8 Ian Gordon, 30, has more than 30 caps to his credit and the 24- year-old Brian McCarthy, capped twice, plays in the second row.

The Courage League Second Division strugglers Moseley look likely to be docked two points for playing an unregistered player following an about- turn. Moseley have admitted they made an administrative error by playing lock Andy Freke in their defeat at Bedford in November, while he was still registered with his first club Woodrush. English Professional Clubs Ltd announced two weeks ago it would not punish the Midlands side, but the Rugby Football Union's competition sub-committee has now overruled that.
