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.

Stephen Hendry again criticised the condition of the tables after taking revenge over Joe Swail to reach the quarter-finals of the Thailand Open in Bangkok.

Swail had knocked the world champion out of the European Open at the same stage a fortnight ago but Hendry was more concerned with the difficult playing conditions than overcoming the Irishman.

"It's impossible to perform to your best on these tables," said Hendry, who 24 hours earlier had described the conditions as "like playing on an Axminster carpet".

"All I could do was scrap away to the finish," said Hendry, who tackles John Parrott or Dave Roe for a place in the semi-finals.

Steve Davis, the winner of the event four years ago, was beaten 5-2 by Ken Doherty.
