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.

Keighley have withdrawn their threat of legal action against the Rugby Football League. They had threatened to take court action for compensation after being left out of the Super League despite winning the Second Division last season. Club officials were furious at the omission, but following Widnes's failure to press their claim in the courts, Keighley's threatened action was left outstanding.

Daio Powell, the 22-year-old former Welsh international charged with manslaughter, remained in prison in Perth, Western Australia, yesterday after failing to raise AUS$50,000 (pounds 23,000) bail. He was charged on Wednesday with the manslaughter of an Irish father of two, Stephen McLoughlin, 35, in an incident outside a Perth nightclub early last Saturday.
