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.

TERRY YOUNG, Britain's brightest teenage prospect, is the favourite to win the men's singles at the British Grand Prix at Bath Sports Centre this weekend.

Young is at the top of the leaderboard, having played in all nine rounds of the circuit. He has gained 26 more points than Carl Prean. Matthew Syed, the English champion and national No 1, has qualified in the third spot but has turned down his place.

Both the Welsh champion, Ryan Jenkins, and the Scottish title holder, Euan Walker, have qualified for the men's singles final rounds.

The final stages of the women's event look likely to be dominated by the holder, Middlesex's Kubart Owolabi, who is a former champion of Nigeria, and Sue Collier.
