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 stars of Dancing On Ice are taking the show to the road, after the official tour hit the skids.

This year's celebrities were reportedly shocked to learn, after signing up for the ITV series, that the tour wouldn't be going ahead for the first time in the show's history, with organisers saying the decision was "due to venue availability".

But some of the stars - including ex-EastEnder Matt Lapisnkas, rugby star Gareth Thomas and Olympian Beth Tweddle - will skate on after the TV series ends later this month, in new tour Celebrities On Ice.

The three Dancing On Ice semi-finalists will be joined by rugby player Kyran Bracken and singer Chico, who have both previously competed in the series, and actor Christopher Biggins.

The celebrities will perform in the show, alongside professional ice skater Colin Ratushniak and skating troupe the Russian Ice Stars.

The tour will begin in Birmingham on Friday April 19 and visit Cardiff, Glasgow, Carlisle, Manchester, Newcastle, Scarborough and Northampton before finishing in Bournemouth on Sunday June 16.
