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.Bath's Lee Best came off the bench to score the vital try in a 20-18 Guinness Premiership win over Newcastle yesterday.
Best's late effort was in the corner, but the fly-half Chris Malone kicked the conversion to take his contribution to 10 points and seal a win which hauls Brian Ashton's side away from the relegation places. Ollie Phillips and Anthony Elliott scored the Falcons' tries, with Matt Burke adding eight points with his boot. Salesi Finau, Bath's Tongan wing, scored his side's other try.
At Franklin's Gardens Northampton survived a late surge from Gloucester for a 21-20 win to help them away from the drop zone too.
Mark Easter and John Clarke scored tries for the Saints, who were also awarded a penalty try. Gloucester were also given a penalty try, with Peter Richards scoring their other five-pointer.
