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.Leeds, the injury-ravaged Super League champions, could borrow their former player Lee Smith back from Wasps to ease their crisis. Smith switched codes after playing for England in last autumn's Four Nations. As a league utility back of proven versatility, he would be a valuable reinforcement for the Rhinos, even if only in the short term.
The Rhinos, who play the league leaders Wigan on Friday, have confirmed that the England captain, Jamie Peacock, has damaged ligaments in his foot. They were already without nine members of their first-team squad when three players made their debuts against Hull KR last weekend.
The Catalan Dragons have agreed to release Adam Mogg from the remaining 18 months of his contract, so that he can return to Australia. The club has admitted its interest in Danny Brough, whose move from Wakefield to Huddersfield appears to be in limbo.
Sheffield Eagles have submitted a formal complaint to the RFL over the refereeing of Warren Turley in the recent Championship fixture against Widnes.
