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 Minions cannot wait for the Super Bowl.

A short teaser for the Despicable-Me spin-off shows the yellow creatures jumping up and down on their seats in anticipation of the big game before somehow losing all of their clothes.

A parody of an American movie trailer voiceover booms: “You are your buddies will jump up and down for hours whilst screaming indecipherable nonsense…you will spill 64 ounces of a really sticky fruity drink all over the guy in front of you, and you will lightly remove your cute little denim overalls.”

The film will tell the story of the Minions before they met Gru, and follows Stuart, Ken and Bob as they travel from New York to London as they try to find a new female master to serve.

They are recruited by Scarlet Overkill, a super villain who hatches a plot to take over the world with her husband.

Sandra Bullock will voice the villain, with Jon Hamm set to voice her husband, inventor Herb Overkill.

The film is due to be released in the UK on 26 June.
