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.

A new trailer for Beauty and the Beast gives fans the chance to hear Emma Watson singing 'Something More' for the first time.

The 30-second teaser shows the moment Belle enters the Beast's castle along with footage of her singing the Disney song, surrounded by a beautiful landscape.

Watson stars alongside Dan Stevens in the live-action remake of the classic animated film.

Directed by Bill Condon (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn), the film looks set to follow the original narrative but adds a feminist twist, with Belle as the inventor rather than her father.

It also stars: Luke Evans as Gaston, Josh Gad as LeFou, Stanley Tucci as Cadenza, Ewan McGregor as Lumier, Ian McKellan as Cogsworth, Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Plumette, and Kevin Kline as Maurice.

A new film poster, released around the same time as the latest teaser, sheds new light on many of the film's characters.

Emma Thompson, Ewan McGregor, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Stanley Tucci and Ian McKellan are shown in their character's human forms.

In less positive coverage of the film, a doll of Emma Watson's Belle has been making the rounds on the internet for all the wrong reasons.

It was suggested that the doll was a better likeness of Justin Bieber than Watson.

Beauty and the Beast is set for global release in March 2017.
