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.

Scott Moore has recorded an unusual double by being named as Super League's best hooker while under suspension by Huddersfield for misbehaviour. Moore (right) was included in the competition's Dream Team, but will be watching from the stands at St Helens on Saturday because he and Keith Mason have been stood down for two matches for horseplay at the Giants' post-Wembley civic reception.

"I'm gutted with myself more than anything," Moore said. "What we did was stupid and it's right that we apologised."

Moore is one of two Huddersfield players in the selection. Hull KR have four as do the League leaders, Leeds. Adrian Morley, who makes his third appearance in the team, has welcomed the Rugby League's about-face over awarding the Ashes for a single match between England and Australia in next month's Four Nations.

Wigan's reserve grade coach, Shaun Wane, has emerged as a candidate for the head coach's job if, as expected, Brian Noble moves to the Celtic Crusaders.
