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.Midway through the World Cup final, the first proper tease for the upcoming series of Doctor Who was released, featuring a brief glimpse of Jodie Whittaker as the Timelord.
Thankfully, that was all warm up for this year's San Diego Comic Con, where BBC America showcased an all-new trailer, now available online.
Watch the trailer below, which features Ryan (played by Hollywoaks alumni Tosin Cole) Yasmin (Mandip Gill, also of Hollyoaks fame), and Bradley Walsh (yes, The Chase's Bradley Walsh) helping the Doctor.
The three new companions, who will no doubt make for a crowded Tardis, all not to be called "companions". As Whittaker's Doctor says in the exciting trailer (which reveals much more than the World Cup tease), they're "best friends" rather than companions.
So, what else did we learn at Comic-Con? First, we had confirmation that there will be a Christmas special, as detailed by new shorunner Chris Chibnall. There was also a look at the Doctor's new Sonic Screwdriver and many, many new pictures. See below.
There's still no release date for the series, which will run for ten episodes followed by the Christmas special.
