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.Rugby League stars Leon Pryce and Stuart Reardon have walked free from court today after they were sentenced for assault.
The two men, who represent Great Britain, were charged with assaulting Reardon's estranged wife Kay and her new partner in an incident last July.
Reardon admitted to assaulting Kay while Pryce confessed to assaulting Mrs Reardon's new partner.
Reardon has been given a 12-week suspended sentence, while Pryce must do 100 hours unpaid work.
Judge Alan Fowler who sentenced the pair in Bradford described the assault as "astonishingly frightening".
