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.

Super League will have a French referee next season, with the promotion of Thierry Alibert to the full-time panel. Alibert, from Toulouse, replaces Ashley Klein, who has returned home to continue his career in Australia. Alibert has already refereed in the competition, as well as internationally, including the recent World Cup.

Warrington's new signings, Garreth Carvell and Mickey Higham, will make their debuts in the pre-season friendly against Hull KR next Thursday, while Oldham will replace Rochdale Hornets against Leigh in their friendly at their new ground on Sunday.
