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.

Wales have included three uncapped players – none of them Welsh-born – in their squad for the Four Nations.

Cumbrian-born Peter Lupton has been named after qualifying via his three seasons for Crusaders. The other two – Matt Seamark and Tyson Frizell – are Australians who put their names forward on the strength of Welsh-born fathers.

The Russian team competing in the World Cup qualifiers was at the centre of a mid-air drama on its way from Frankfurt to Moscow. The plane flew back to Germany when a passenger became violent. In addition the visas of the coach, John Stankevitch, and the squad had expired. They were threatened with arrest as illegal immigrants before going on to Moscow.
