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.Josh Navidi has been added to the Wales squad for the remainder of the Six Nations.
The British & Irish Lions flanker required shoulder surgery after being forced off eight minutes into Cardiff’s United Rugby Championship match against the Bulls in October.
However, the 31-year-old returned to action in the Blue and Blacks’ defeat to Ulster on Friday night, playing the full 80 minutes in Belfast.
Navidi’s addition to the squad ahead of Wales’ home clash with France on Friday sees fellow back-row Ellis Jenkins released back to Cardiff for their two matches in South Africa over the next two weekends.
The capital region face the Lions in Johannesburg next Sunday before travelling to Cape Town to take on the Stormers.
Jenkins started Wales’ opening defeat to Ireland but was not in the matchday squad for subsequent fixtures against Scotland and England.
Wales sit fifth in the Six Nations table and will welcome Italy to Cardiff for their closing fixture following France’s visit.
