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 former world champion Jansher Khan, of Pakistan, had to dig deep to get the better of Simon Parke in a high-quality final of the Equitable Life Super Series at the Galleria Outlet Centre, Hatfield yesterday.
Jansher, 28, eventually beat the British champion 15-12, 13-15, 15-11, 15-10 in 80 minutes and now believes he can win every major title in the coming year. However, he paid handsome tribute to his 25-year-old opponent from Nottingham, saying: "He has never played that well against me before. With that level of speed and play, he is definitely one of the major challengers now."
Parke, who recovered from surgery and chemotherapy early last year for testicular cancer, only got back to full fitness before Christmas. "It is a bit frustrating when you come up against Jansher playing as well as he did today," he said.
