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.

SCOTT GIBBS, the Lions and Wales centre, will undergo surgery on his right knee today and will miss the whole of the Five Nations' Championship, writes Robert Cole.

The 22-year-old Gibbs badly twisted his right knee in a tackle at the end of Saturday's game in Cardiff between the Barbarians and the All Blacks and will have an operation on a severed lateral ligament today.

'The good news is that he will make a full recovery,' Bob Norster, the Welsh team manager, said. Norster will name a replacement for Gibbs in the Welsh training squad before Sunday's session at Swansea.
