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.Wasps have signed former Leeds Carnegie captain Marco Wentzel.
Wentzel, a former South Africa Test player, left Leeds last week following their relegation from the Aviva Premiership, and the experienced lock becomes Wasps' 10th new signing for next season.
He was previously with Leicester before moving to Leeds, spending two seasons at each club.
Wentzel said: "It was a hard decision for me to leave Leeds, but I believe it is the best decision for me and the future of the club.
"I really enjoyed my time there and made some great friends. I must thank all my team-mates and the fans for their amazing support the past two years.
"On the other hand, I am really looking forward to join a club with a proud history like Wasps and believe I can play a part to get them back where they belong at the top of English and European rugby."
Wasps chief executive Chris Thomas added: "Marco will be a fantastic addition to our pack for next season.
"He has much-admired leadership qualities and we know that he is considered a fantastic professional in how he carries himself on and off the pitch."
