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.

Paul Adey has given Nottingham Panthers a fillip before their Benson & Hedges Cup final with Ayr Scottish Eagles tomorrow. The forward has been cleared to return to the side after recovering from a broken hand sustained when on duty for Great Britain last month.

In the absence of the Canadian-born 33-year-old, Panthers have slumped to one off the bottom of the Superleague after six successive defeats.

"I could have played Paul against Sheffield on Tuesday, but kept him back to ensure he is 100 per cent fit," the Panthers coach, Mike Blaisdell, said. "He is very important to us."

The defenceman Darrly Olsen and the forward duo of Simon Hunt and Randall Weber will also be back, although Marc Twaite is expected to miss the game with a groin problem.

Ayr say that they have authorisation from the Superleague chairman, David Temme, allowing Ryan Kummu to play even though he is currently banned for fighting.
