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.

Ronnie O'Sullivan's swift elevation from 57th to ninth in the provisional rankings for the 1994/95 season has made him the second favourite behind Stephen Hendry, the world champion and world No 1, to win the Regal Welsh tournament, which starts on Sunday in Newport. O'Sullivan, winner of the UK Championship and runner-up in the European Open, plays Paul McPhillips in the opening session on Sunday afternoon. Hendry's first match is on Monday evening against Tony Drago. Ken Doherty, the Dubliner who beat the Scot Alan McManus to win the Regal Welsh last year, opens against Jonathan Birch on Sunday afternoon. The winner next Saturday will receive pounds 27,000.
