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.

The Rolling Stones scored their first British number one album in 16 years Sunday after re-releasing one of their classic records, "Exile on Main Street.

"

The ageing rockers held off dance band Faithless to grab the top spot in the album chart, the first such achievement for the band since 1994's "Voodoo Lounge."

"Exile on Main Street," which features tracks such as "Tumbling Dice" and "Rocks Off," already made it to number one when initially released in May, 1972 and contains eclectic influences from blues and soul to calypso.

A documentary about the making of album was given its world premiere at the Cannes film festival during the week.
