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.

The World Professional Billiards and Association Disciplinary hearing which could activate a 12-month ban on Alex Higgins has been adjourned until 5 September. The case arises from Higgins's alleged verbal abuse of two referees, Alan Chamberlain and Laurie Annandale, during qualifying competitions at Blackpool last January. Until then the twice world champion, now ranked 99th in the world, will be able to compete in qualifying competitions for next season's world ranking events, his first match is at the Norbreck Castle Hotel, Blackpool, tomorrow.
