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 England hooker Mark Regan has been given the given the go-ahead to gain his second cap against Western Samoa on 16 December. The 23-year- old Bristol player faced a possible suspension after being given a yellow card for the second time this season during a recent game at Moseley.

The Gloucestershire RFU disciplinary meeting for 12 December, however, will not have time to discuss his case, which will now be considered during an additional meeting a week later.

"The new date means that I can concentrate on the preparations for the game against the tourists," Regan said.

"I shall definitely be appealing against both yellow cards and hope that the committee will find it in my favour."
