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.Johnny Vaughan is to replace Chris Tarrant as the presenter of Capital Radio's breakfast show.
Vaughan, a former host of Channel 4's Big Breakfast, will join the London radio station in the spring. He has signed a three-year deal for the programme, which attracts audiences of more than 1.5 million.
Vaughan has also presented his own BBC chat show and is The Sun's film critic. He said: " I'm used to early mornings so getting up won't be a problem - my only hope is that I look as good as Chris Tarrant does in 15 years' time." Tarrant, who will have been in the job for 17 years when he steps down, said: "I'm now off to enjoy life without the early starts and I won't miss the alarm going off."
