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.England crashed out of the Rugby World Cup as France booked a semi-final clash with Wales.
The French, seemingly in disarray all week after their pool defeat to Tonga, surged into a 16-0 lead with first-half tries from Vincent Clerc and Maxime Medard.
Ben Foden responded with a touchdown in a better second half for England but France edged further ahead with a drop goal from Francois Trinh-Duc.
And although Mark Cueto wrestled his way over the line for a second England try in the closing minutes, the die had already been cast.
Martin Johnson's men were soundly beaten and questions will now be asked over his future as England manager.
England had set a semi-final appearance as their minimum requirement and fell short. Despite today's scoreline, a long way short.
The fact England had topped their group unbeaten and France had suffered defeats to New Zealand and the Tongans meant nothing today.
The fact England had beaten France in the semi-finals of the last two World Cups meant nothing today.
For the third time in World Cup history - after 1987 and 1999 - England go home having failed to progress beyond the quarter-finals.
