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.

There we have it, the first clip of Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond’s The Grand Tour.

As you may have suspected, the Amazon Prime motoring show looks and feels exactly the same as old Top Gear.

The 30-second clip sees the three presenters standing around as a broken Range Rover passes by, making quite horrible noises as it passes.

Notably, the trio’s chemistry has gone nowhere, sharing jokes and laughing as May points out that it's a rental car.

“It’s called gentle rental. ‘You’re not taking it off road, are you?’ No, no, no…” Clarkson says. Hammond interjects: “No, No, No... A bit...”

Earlier this week the first official images from The Grand Tour were released, showing the trio presenting in South Africa against a magnificent backdrop.

Meanwhile, Chris Evans has dropped out of the BBC’s Top Gear, something May was reportedly ‘chuffed’ about, something Clarkson denied.

Tickets for The Grand Tour’s UK stop are currently being raffled off by Amazon.
