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.

England injury doubts Toby Flood and Joe Worsley have both been passed fit to start against Scotland tomorrow.

Flood damaged his shoulder just before half-time in England's 34-10 victory over France last Sunday, while Worsley required six stitches in a cut to his hand.

England had placed Olly Barkley and Tom Rees on standby - but both players came through fitness tests and will take their place in an unchanged England side for the Calcutta Cup showdown.

"We only played six days ago but everyone is fit to play," said Johnson.

"With a short week we thought we may be in trouble but the medics have done well to get them back."
