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.

Anthony Hill, Australia's world No 8 player, has been banned again. Earlier this month, he was suspended for three months and fined pounds 1,400 for "unsportsmanlike conduct" at the World Open last October in Cyprus.

On Tuesday, the World Federation banned Hill, 28, from representing his country in team events until 1998 after incidents in a match with Pakistan's Mir Zaman Gul at the World Team Championships in Cairo in November.

Hill was charged with "physically and verbally abusing his opponent, verbally abusing the referee and showing dissent against his decisions, throwing his racket and generally bringing the game into disrepute."
