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.

RONNIE O'SULLIVAN accused Nigel Gilbert of gamesmanship after his final-frame victory in the Royal Liver Assurance UK Championship at Preston yesterday.

After emerging triumphant from a tense 17th frame which lasted 38 minutes, the former world junior champion said: 'His (Gilbert's) antics were getting on my nerves. He kept rattling his glass and the ice bucket. I just couldn't stop myself from getting wound up.'

O'Sullivan now plays Ireland's Ken Doherty, while the former champion, John Parrott, beat Tony Knowles 9-2 to set up a meeting with David Roe, who defeated Alain Robidoux. Darren Morgan, of Wales, beat his fellow-countryman, Tony Chappel, 9-5.
