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.

Henman finds rich seam of form

Tim Henman booked his place in the final of the President's Cup in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, yesterday after knocking out Nicholas Escude. The British No 1, who won the title last year, now faces the Russian top seed Yevgeny Kafelnikov. Henman struggled in the first set before finding his form to beat Escude 3-6 6-2 6-4. Kafelnikov had earlier outplayed another Frenchman, Cedric Pioline, 6-2 6-2. The world No 1, Martina Hingis, beat Conchita Martinez 6-4 6-4 to put Switzerland level 1-1 with Spain in the Fed Cup final in Geneva. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario had opened Spain's bid for the title with a 6-2 3-6 6-2 win over Patty Schnyder.
