Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

A Welsh choir and youth dance group were the first acts to make it through to the Britain's Got Talent final last night.

Cor Glanaethwy won the public vote to zoom automatically into Sunday night's grand show before judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon chose their favourite from the other top three contenders.

Walliams gave cute 12-year-old Henry Gallagher his vote but the rest of the panel opted to save Harry Potter-inspired Entity Allstars instead. Dixon had used her Golden Buzzer on the Essex collective earlier in the series, sending them straight to the live semis.

Nine acts competed for places in the final, with Mitch and Cally the Wonderdog coming fifth and breaking the world record for most balloons popped by a dog (niche, yes, but congrats to them anyway).

Latino singer Ricky Martin performed new song "Mr Put-It-Down" while hosts Ant and Dec made light of the evacuation of the Britain's Got Talent studio last week.

A World War II bomb was discovered near Wembley Stadium and later safely detonated. "Hitler tried to stop us and for the second time we defeated Hitler," Cowell joked.
