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.Eddie Jones, the former Australia coach currently in charge of Japan, has been hospitalised after apparently suffering a stroke.
Jones missed the naming of his squad for internationals next month due to "illness" the Japan Rugby Football Union said. The 53-year-old apparently complained of a severe headache on Tuesday and was taken to a local hospital for tests.
Former South Africa coach Jake White said that he had been in touch with the Australian's wife. "He is in intensive care and he currently doesn't have movement on his left side but he is talking," White said.
