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 CAST for The World Is Not Enough, James Bond's next outing, is beginning to shape up. The ex-breakfast-time siren Denise Van Outen has landed herself a part in the franchise's traditionally spectacular opening sequence, according to The Mirror. Van Outen's casting follows the production company's announcement that Pierce Brosnan will be up against none other than Robert Carlyle. He'll play the arch-villain Renard who, thanks to a bullet lodged in his brain, is immune to pain. Fine, but surely the producers have missed a chance to resurrect Carlyle's psychotic turn in Trainspotting: Begbie vs Bond - "Come aheed, 007, ye radge wee shite!"
1998 WAS the year that the ship came in for 20th Century Fox and Paramount. According to Variety, Titanic earned the studios $3.2bn in theatrical, video and record releases and broadcast-rights sales last year. The video of James Cameron's epic alone has brought in revenue worth $1bn, the result of world-wide sales of more than 57 million units.
WITH LESS than a year to go before the start of the new millennium, there are certain things to which humanity will cling as earthquakes rend the earth, the sky falls on our heads and the clock on the video packs up - the eternal truth of Woody Allen's ongoing visits to his analyst being just one. Well, no more. According to a BBC interview to be broadcast this year, Mr Neurotic is so happy with his wife, Soon-Yi, that he's stopped seeing his shrink. Verily, the apocalypse is nigh.
