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.

"She's back and she's going to be bigger than ever!"

Poking fun at the fact Zellweger didn't gain weight for the third outing as her beloved Bridget Jones character; the first tease of footage primes us for that long-awaited pregnancy, which forms the central focus of this new outing.

The upcoming film, titled Bridget Jones’s Baby, was shot in London last year. Colin Firth will reprise his role as Mark Darcy, with Patrick Dempsey aboard as love rival Mark Qwant; as Zellweger's perpetual singleton must discover which of the two men is father to her unborn child. A fact not even the cast and crew know of, as three different endings were filmed in a bid to avoid potential plot leaks.


Hugh Grant, meanwhile, has not been pitched to return. The film will be based on the columns author Helen Fielding wrote for The Independent between 2005 and 2006.

Bridget Jones's' Baby hits UK cinemas 16 September.
