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.

Fourth seed Tim Henman moved into the semi-finals of the Davidoff Swiss Indoor Championship in Basle after beating Morocco's Hicham Arazi 63 63.

Henman eased through after surviving a first set break and some scorching returns from his opponent in the second set.

It means Henman, the world number 10 and British number one, is on course for his second title in three weeks.

He ended a run of seven consecutive final defeats by claiming the CA Trophy in Vienna earlier this month.

And the fourth seed, a winner at the event in 1998 and a losing finalist last year, reached the last four with a confident performance in Switzerland.
