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.

The All Blacks are so dominant at rugby they have decided to take up football as well to see how they go... Here, hooker Dane Coles tries to tackle Richie McCaw (not always a wise decision) at a training session at London's Imperial College.

England will hope New Zealand are still thinking round-ball not oval at Twickenham on Saturday, if the home side are to have any hope of victory. Andrew Hore faces a disciplinary hearing tomorrow after being cited for punching the Wales lock Bradley Davies on Saturday. He still managed a spot of London telephone box-spotting before joining his football-playing team-mates (now, that's relaxed).
