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.

The Welsh Super League club, Crusaders, have added two more experienced Australians to their squad for next season.

The Wrexham-based side have signed the Wakefield centre, Tony Martin, and Michael Witt, a half-back who is returning to rugby league after a spell in union with Otago. Martin, a prolific goal-kicker, has also played for the New Zealand Warriors, the London Broncos and Melbourne. Witt was among his team-mates at the Warriors and has also played for Parramatta and Manly.

Crusaders, who are rebuilding after their relocation to the Racecourse Ground, are also being linked with the Australian Test forward, Willie Mason, and the second-rower, Weller Hauraki, who has been released by Parramatta – although it looks like Mason has slipped through their fingers. The fiery front rower, who is still best known in this country for flooring Stuart Fielden and Sean Long during Great Britain's last win against Australia in 2006, is instead expected to join Melbourne Storm.
