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.Wallace and Gromit are returning to the small screen for the first time in more than 10 years in a new television adventure to be filmed at the Aardman studios in Bristol.
Trouble At' Mill features the cheese-loving inventor and his faithful sidekick's attempts to run a bakery business.
The half-hour adventure will be filmed at the studios in January and shown on BBC1 late next year.
Fans will find that 62 West Wallaby Street has been converted into a granary with ovens and robotic kneading arms.
The Plasticine pair have started home deliveries and built a windmill on top of the house to grind corn and bake bread.
Business is booming, but the dog, Gromit, is concerned that 12 local bakers have "disappeared" in the past year.
Gromit's master Wallace has been distracted by the new love interest, bread enthusiast and local beauty, the dough-eyed Piella Bakewell.
Trouble at' Mill will be the first half-hour television episode for Wallace and Gromit since The Wrong Trousers (1993) and A Close Shave (1995).
It will be the first outing for Wallace and Gromit since the Curse of the Were-Rabbit, which won an Oscar last year.
