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.Liam Botham, son of the former England cricket all-rounder Ian, has been called into the Under-21 squad to play France at Leicester tomorrow.
Botham, a centre with West Hartlepool, will be on the bench after replacing Joe Ewens. The 20-year-old has dedicated himself to rugby after making a promising cricketing start with Hampshire last summer.
The Scotland and Melrose lock Stewart Campbell has withdrawn from the Scotland A team to face Ireland A at Myreside tomorrow and is replaced by Scott Murray of Bedford.
Swansea have lodged a complaint with the Welsh Rugby Union over the selection of two of their players in Wales' squad for the Hong Kong Sevens. Both Scott Gibbs and Colin Charvis are due to play in the event, but it clashes with Swansea's Swalec Cup quarter-final with Neath on 22 March.
