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.

NEW ZEALAND lost a second World Cup within a year as a brave and competent France beat their students by a goal, three drop goals and two penalties to a goal and a penalty goal last night, writes Our Correspondent from Rovigo, Italy.

The French stand-off, Laurent Mazas, a talented punter and an astute drop-kicker, was at the scoring end of the newly found French composure with three drop goals. His first came seconds into the game, while his last two efforts in the second half were produced at a time when the French pack were disrupting New Zealand.

France: Try Marin; Drop goal Mazas 3; Penalties Lacroix, Fauthoux; Conversion Fauthoux. New Zealand: Try Leslie; Penalty D Love; Conversion Love.
