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 ambition of the new South Wales club to play in next year's Super League has been approved in principle by the League's board of directors, writes Dave Hadfield.

The board, however, has insisted the consortium, which wants to base the club at Cardiff Arms Park, must guarantee to match any money from News Corporation, to which they will become entitled as Super League members.

Leading clubs will be without key players from Western Samoa, Tonga and Fiji for part of next month because of the first playing of the Oceania Cup.

The London Broncos have targeted the Bath rugby union players Steve Ojomoh and Simon Geoghegan as possible future signings.
