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.Waterloo have signed the promising Bridgend stand-off Lyndon Griffiths. The 23-year-old has played for Wales at youth and under-21 levels. Two others joining the club are the Liverpool St Helens prop, Steven O'Keefe, and David Warwick, a centre from Wigton in Cumbria.
The Coventry director of rugby, Derek Eves, is on the brink of signing another player from his old club Bristol. The Second Division club expect to sign the former Scottish international prop Alan Sharp within the next two weeks, meaning Sharp will be the eighth member of Bristol to move to the Midlands.
Steve Pearce, the Aberavon forward, has been cleared by the Welsh Rugby Union despite being sent off on 14 December against Maesteg.
Pearce, a Cardiff-based policeman, was alleged to have butted Maesteg's player-coach, Steve James, but James later said he was not touched. Aberavon's appeal against the dismissal was upheld by the WRU's disciplinary committee.
David Evans, the former Wales outside-half, was taken to hospital on Wednesday night with a suspected broken jaw after a collision during the testimonial match for Bridgend's Glen Webbe.
