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.Wales wing Shane Williams says he plans to retire from international rugby after his country's next match against Australia in December.
Williams had floated the idea of quitting after the World Cup in New Zealand this month but has now decided to make himself available for the 3 December friendly in Cardiff so that he can finish his international career on home soil.
The 34-year-old said: "I will treat it in the same way I have always treated Wales games, but it will be a sad day for me. I'll be devastated."
Williams scored three tries at the World Cup to take his tally to 57 in 86 appearances for Wales, helping his team to fourth place. AP
