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.London Broncos have appointed the former Australian Test player, Tony Currie, as their new coach, writes Dave Hadfield. Currie, who played for Leeds 10 years ago, has been a specialist defensive coach with the Brisbane Broncos and succeeds Gary Grienke, who left last week.
London have been admitted to the Academy Super League, the top division for under-19 players, for the forthcoming summer season. The Broncos, who have not run an Academy team in the past, plan to bolster it with scholarship winners from Australia as well as southern-based rugby union players.
Leeds have failed in their attempts to contact the Australian club, Manly, to clarify the position of Craig Innes. Both clubs believe they have Innes under contract for this summer, but Leeds' football manager, Hugh McGahan, said: "If they don't want to talk to us about compensation, we are happy for him to stay here."
