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.

Super League's Bradford Bulls are resigned to playing this season with a depleted squad after failing to strengthen it. They have failed in bids for Warrington's Jon Roper, St Helens' Paul Newlove and Alan Hunte, of Hull. Props Neil Harmon of Huddersfield, Leeds' Barrie McDermott and Terry O'Connor of Wigan have also been the subject of offers.

Sheffield Eagles have been refused permission to take the St Helens scrum- half Bobbie Goulding on loan.

Scotland will continue the push to promote rugby league north of the border when Glasgow hosts the 1998 British Students Championship later this month.

Warrington Wolves and Hull Sharks have both made a move for Christian Tyrer, the 24-year-old former Widnes Vikings utility back.
