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.

John Higgins will make his next appearance in front of British snooker fans at December's UK Championship ranked at No 3 in the world.

Higgins will complete a six-month suspension for "intentionally giving the impression to others that he was agreeing to act in breach of the betting rules" early next month, in time for Euro Players Tour events in Germany and the Czech Republic.

The updated top 16 was released yesterday, with the players on the list guaranteed places in the final stages of both the Telford event and the Masters at Wembley Arena from 9 to 16 January.

The world champion, Neil Robertson, moved up to No 1 after last month adding the World Open to his Crucible crown, while Ali Carter is at No 2.
