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.Shaun Edwards is out of the London Broncos team to play in Canberra on Sunday, thus denying the opposing loose forward, Bradley Clyde, the chance for what Australians would call a "get-even", writes Dave Hadfield.
Edwards was sent off for a high tackle on Clyde during the Test at Wembley in 1994 and Clyde - no doubt with stirring up interest in this weekend's match in mind - had expressed a wish to "have a shot" in return.
He will not now have the chance, because a hamstring injury, which forced Edwards off the field at Brisbane and arguably cost London the match last Friday, has not improved sufficiently. That means that Josh White will partner Tulsen Tollett at half-back.
The Leeds coach, Dean Bell, has made two changes for tomorrow's game in Adelaide. Francis Cummins moves to centre for the injured Richie Blackmore, with Leroy Rivett coming in on the wing. Terry Newton will be on the bench, along with Graham Holroyd, whose reported link to Richmond is a mystery to the club.
"We know absolutely nothing about it," said the Leeds chief executive, Gary Hetherington.
