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 flanker Michael Lipman has been cited for allegedly stamping on an opponent during Saturday's Test match against New Zealand at Twickenham.

The Bath captain will face an International Rugby Board disciplinary hearing later this week.

Lipman was reported by match citing officer, South African Andrew Prior.

The case will be heard by IRB-appointed judicial officer Professor Lorne Crerar.

Lipman is back with his club following England's autumn Test campaign, with Bath facing a busy month of back-to-back Heineken Cup clashes against Glasgow, followed by Guinness Premiership appointments with Sale Sharks and Northampton.
