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.

Filming has officially begun in Belfast for the third and final season of The Fall, which is expected to air later this year.

Jamie Dornan is confirmed to return for the five part series as serial killer Paul Spector in the BBC 2 drama, who was last seen lying gravely injured in the arms of DSI Stella Gibson, portrayed by Gillian Anderson.

Swedish actor Krister Henriksson, known for his role as Kurt Wallander in the Swedish version of the show, will be joining the cast, alongside Mr Selfridge star Aidan McArdle, Aisling Bea and Ruth Bradley (Humans).

Merlin actor Colin Morgan will return as DS Tom Anderson, alongside previous series regulars John Lynch, Valene Kane, Emmett J Scanlan, Stuart Graham, Bronagh Waugh and Aisling Franciosi.

Series creator and writer Allan Cubitt said of the final series: "I’ve been on a very exciting journey over the last five years with Stella Gibson and Paul Spector – the central characters of The Fall – and I’m thrilled to have recently started filming the third instalment of their macabre, obsessive dance of death."

The Fall first aired in May 2013 and was nominated for both Bafta and National Television Awards, with the second series airing in 2014 and concluding on 17 December.
