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.Ollie Lindsay-Hague is the only change in the England Sevens squad for the opening two legs of the HSBC Sevens World Series next month.
Coach Ben Ryan has kept faith with most of the squad that lost to South Africa in the bronze medal play-off at the Commonwealth Games, with Harlequins' Lindsay-Hague (left) replacing Kevin Barrett.
World-record points holder Ben Gollings will again lead the side with the first leg in Dubai on 3-4 December, before the second leg in George, South Africa a week later. England will play Fiji, France and Portugal in Pool D on the opening day in Dubai.
*Ospreys cruised to their first LV Cup victory with a comprehensive, eight-tries-to-one 46-13 victory over a young Leicester side at the Brewery Field last night, while teenager Joseph Griffin kicked a last-gasp penalty to earn Cardiff Blues a 23-23 draw against Exeter. Last year's winners Northampton proved far too strong for Newport Gwent Dragons as they eased to a 28-3 home win.
