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.The All Blacks scrum-half Justin Marshall has been offered the chance to switch codes and play for the Super League champions, Leeds Rhinos, in the World Club Challenge against the NRL champions, Canterbury Bulldogs.
New Zealand's most-capped back announced on Thursday he had signed a two-year deal to join Leeds Tykes from the start of the next Zurich Premiership season. During negotiations the 31-year-old was also asked about his availability for the Rhinos in the 4 February game against the Bulldogs at Elland Road.
The Rhinos are without a recognised hooker for the start of the season after their Great Britain international Matt Diskin suffered a knee injury during last autumn's Tri-Nations series.
