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.PETER MARSHALL, the double- handed player who climbed to world No 5 on Monday, reached the quarter-finals of the Spanish Open in Madrid yesterday. The England No 1 beat the Scottish No 1, Mark Maclean, 15-6, 15-13, 15-8, and thus moved to within one victory of his projected semi-final meeting with the world champion, Jansher Khan. Marshall's success also helped atone for the surprise defeat of the England No 2, Chris Walker, to the Pakistani qualifier, Zarak Jahan Khan.
