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.

MIKE HALLETT, who only sneaked into the tournament by the back door, sent John Parrott out through the front yesterday when he ejected the former world champion from the Regal Masters in Motherwell, winning 5-3 to reach the last eight of the pounds 150,000 event.

Parrott has gained only one victory in the Regal since its inception in 1989 and yesterday his misery continued as the world No 5 missed a frame-clinching blue that would have sent his match against Hallett, a wild-card entry, into a ninth frame.

Hallett earned a meeting today with the defending champion, Ken Doherty, while Jimmy White - a comfortable 5-1 victor over Drew Henry - meets the world champion Stephen Hendry.
