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 been made the bookmakers' favourite for the Regal Welsh tournament, starting on Sunday and ending on 31 January, after his first win of the season in France last weekend. The World No 1 won the Canal + European Challenge in Epernay and, though not a ranking tournament, the win will provide a fillip for Hendry in the defence of his title at Newport in an event that boasts the world's top 10 players, who qualified automatically, and 17 in the top 20. Hendry opens his defence against Tony Jones, ranked 22, but who qualified in Blackpool last summer. John Parrott, the No 2 seed, plays Steve Lemmens, the Belgian who is ranked 234.
