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.

Newport's Kevin Moseley is one of three players banned for four weeks by a Wales RFU disciplinary panel yesterday. Moseley and Ian Greenslade, the Bridgend hooker, were dismissed for fighting during the match on 23 September while the Treorchy second row Steve Evans was sent off at Abertillery on the same day. All three are banned until 1 November. Llanelli's Tony Copsey, sent off for punching Mike Hall last Saturday, will appear before the panel later this month, although he has already been banned by his club for tomorrow's Heineken League match against Aberavon.

Claudio De Rossi, the Benetton Treviso full-back, has been suspended by the Italian Federation after testing positive, at an international training session, for the banned steroid, nandrolone.
