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 Swansea chief executive, Dan Minster, has left the club by mutual consent just two months after the resignation of the chairman, Mike James.

The Welsh First Division club Dunvant have registered the Fijian captain Joeli Veitayaki and back row man Emori Katalau, both of whom played against Wales at Cardiff last year. Both were registered before the transfer deadline last weekend but they still await work permits.

South Africa's Joel Stransky will be on the replacements' bench for the Barbarians in Saturday's match against Australia at Twickenham. Stransky, whose drop goal clinched victory over New Zealand in the World Cup final 18 months ago, will be the understudy to the Barbarians captain, Rob Andrew.
