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.Dan Carter's disciplinary hearing has been postponed until tomorrow, at the request of the New Zealand team management.
The All Blacks fly-half was cited for a dangerous tackle on Wales scrum-half Martin Roberts during his side's 19-12 victory at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday.
Carter was due to appear before Judge Jeff Blackett, the International Rugby Board-appointed judicial officer for the match, at a hearing today.
The case will be heard in London.
Carter escaped censure from referee Craig Joubert at the time but Wales head coach Warren Gatland and assistant Shaun Edwards both believe the challenge deserved a yellow card.
If Blackett decides Carter deserves a ban it could threaten his participation against England at Twickenham on November 21.
The All Blacks are currently preparing for next Saturday's Test with Italy at the San Siro stadium in Milan, a game Carter would probably have been rested for anyway.
New Zealand had two players - wing Sitiveni Sivivatu and prop Tony Woodcock - cited and suspended following the victory over Australia in Tokyo nine days ago, bans that meant they missed the Wales game.
