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.

Liam Gallagher has been urged by his brother Noel to "cleanse yourself of a lot of f***ing s**t baggage" and "start again".

This came after Liam's absence in court for a child-support hearing with ex Liza Ghorbani over their 22-month-old daughter Gemma. The judge said Liam's excuse for missing his court date was "inexcusable" and fined him £3,500.

Talking to the NME, Noel said: "He's made a f***ing mess of things at the moment but we've all been there. I've been there. Something like that can be a great thing because you get to the bottom and you cleanse yourself of a lot of f***ing s**t baggage and you start again.

"I'm the kind of person that says, 'F**k it, take it' and I'll start again. And that would be my advice to him."

Speaking about the last time the brothers saw each other, in May 2014, Noel said: "I was like: 'Oh yeah, alright, and how are you?' Every time I see him he is still being a bit of a f**king cheeky c***. And he’s still putting out the persona of the angry barking dog."

Noel's reputation for being mouthy remains undimmed, as he recently got in a jokey argument with Ed Sheeran after criticising the singer. Noel also recently accused his friend Russell Brand of talking "a load of s**t" and added: "I couldn't see him overthrowing a table of drinks".
