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.

The first trailer for Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc's revamped Top Gear has finally been released, showcasing the BBC's all new team.

In the one-minute clip, both hosts are seen taking part in various stunts, most of which have previously featured in the news such as Evans throwing up by the side of the track after going for a spin in an Audi R8 V10 with co-star Sabine Schmitz.

"Why is it red?" Schmitz asked him, to which Evans replied "Strawberries.” Also shown is LeBlanc driving a Reliant Robin coated in the American flag, while Jenson Button is seen racing around what we presume is the Top Gear track.

There's also an incredibly cringe moment from Evans as he shouts to the camera "Feel the heat baby". Watch below.

The upcoming series will be the show's 23rd and the first without Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond. The original trio are currently working on their own upcoming car show for Amazon Prime.

Evans has recently poked fun at the three hosts, calling them 'Zippy, George and Bungle', to which May replied: “That’s quite good actually.”
