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.

Scotland are set to announce a new managerial structure today, following the decision of Jim Telfer to step down as director of rugby.

Paul Dodge has been put in charge of Leicester Tigers' youth team after four years as the club's assistant coach. The former England and Lion centre's new appointment follows the arrival of Bob Dwyer as the Tigers' coach.

Moseley, the Courage League Second Division team, have sacked their first team coach, Tony Lanaway, just two months after his appointment as successor to Derek Nutt as he does not fit into the plans of new director of coaching Mark Anscombe.

TOUR MATCH (Potchefstroom, SA): Western Transvaal 0 New Zealand 31.
