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 Welsh Rugby Union have confirmed that the Millennium Stadium roof will be closed for tomorrow's RBS 6 Nations decider between Wales and England.
The match will determine the destination of this year's title, with England also having the chance of a first Grand Slam since 2003.
The weather forecast is dubious in the run-up to the 5pm kick-off and the teams have agreed to the roof being shut.
Closing the roof requires the say-so of both sides, and with so much riding on the match their verdict has been unanimous.
They made the same decision in their last meeting at the ground in 2011, when England won 26-19.
A short statement confirmed: "The WRU can confirm the roof at the Millennium Stadium will be closed for tomorrow's Wales v England RBS 6 Nations fixture."
