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.

After a week of clear skies and fine weather for much of the UK, Autumn is set to hit the country this week - with temperatures falling and rain spreading.

Rain will move from the South East to the North East on Monday, with temperatures staying fairly warm, in the mid-to-high teens.

However, more rain will cover the country on Tuesday, covering most of England and Scotland, spreading up Britain as the day goes on.

From Wednesday evening, the rain will lift, and there will be dryer weather across the UK for the end of the week.

North-east Scotland will be the hardest hit by the rain, with the Met Office issuing a yellow 'be aware' warning for rain issued for Angus and south Aberdeenshire.

On Tuesday, 40mm of rain is expected to fall, almost half of the monthly average of 87mm.

Although things will settle down at the end of the week, it's a sign that the colder seasons are on their way for the UK.
