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 teenage Wigan scrum-half, Luke Robinson, darted in for a hat-trick of tries as the Challenge Cup heavyweights cruised past an out-classed Limoux 80-20 into the sixth round.

The teenage Wigan scrum-half, Luke Robinson, darted in for a hat-trick of tries as the Challenge Cup heavyweights cruised past an out-classed Limoux 80-20 into the sixth round.

The 19-year-old was at the heart of a fluent Wigan display, which silenced the noisy home support, while fellow youngster Chris Melling also contributed 10 goals and a try. Limoux took a shock 4-2 lead after seven minutes through the New Zealand A centre Boycie Nelson. But then the home side faded quickly as Wigan, who only flew into France two hours before the kick-off, showed no signs of fatigue.

Warrington cruised through to the last eight with a 44-10 victory over Oldham, which included nine tries.

The part-timers of Oldham battled throughout and earned a standing ovation from their fans at the end - in stark contrast to last week when they were booed off the pitch after a 54-10 defeat by Leigh.
