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.

COLIN HUTTON, the former Great Britain manager, is the new president of the Rugby League.

Hutton, the Hull Kingston Rovers official and former coach who played for Widnes and Hull, was elected at a Council meeting in Leeds last night, with Roy Waudby (Hull) named as president elect.

Harry Jepson (Leeds) retained his place on the sport's board of directors, while Stephen Ball (Batley) won a poll for the other vacancy, Rodney Walker (Wakefield) losing his place.

Swinton, who will play their home games at Bury FC's Gigg Lane ground next season, have received planning permission for the development of their Station Road ground and hope to sell it within a fortnight.
