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.

Every week in the lead-up to the next episode of Doctor Who, the excitement gradually builds.

And now, with just three days to go until episode five airs, new pictures have been released to give fans a taster of what is to come.

The forthcoming instalment, titled "Time Heist", sees the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and his assistant Clara (Jenna Coleman) setting out to rob the bank of Karabraxos - the deadliest bank in the cosmos.

But of course their task is not easy – the pair must evade security and come face-to-face with the Teller, a creature that can detect guilt.

Viewers will also be introduced to Ms Delphox (played by guest star Keeley Hawes), whose role as the head of security renders her a woman to be reckoned with.

The countdown to the heist begins...

Doctor Who continues on Saturday 20 September on BBC One
