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.

Tim Henman, the British No 1 who has shown remarkable improvement this year, has moved up one place to 32 in the world rankings - the highest of his career. Henman is aiming to reach the top 20 by the turn of the year and will play six successive tournaments in Europe. His marathon stint begins today when he plays the Frenchman Guy Forget in the first round of the Lyon Grand Prix.

While Henman goes up, Greg Rusedski, the British No 2, has slipped to 84 in the rankings. This is because the points he gained from reaching the semi-finals of the Basle tournament last year have now gone off the computer. Rusedski is playing in the Heineken Open in Singapore this week.
