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 has called for the resignation of Rex Williams, the chairman of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association. Hendry, who last year claimed the game was "poisoned from top to bottom", is taking legal action against Williams over alleged remarks published in a tabloid newspaper yesterday. "Williams is incapable of uniting the various snooker factions and should resign immediately and let snooker progress in the way I know it can," he said. Williams is up for re-election as chairman at the game's annual general meeting in Birmingham on 23 December.
Steve Davis, suffering from flu, slipped to a rare whitewash yesterday in the first round of the German Masters. The six-times world champion, who felt "dreadful" on arrival, was beaten 5-0 by Scotland's Alan McManus.
