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.A video of a Russian Military choir giving an impassioned rendition of the theme tune to Skyfall, has gone viral after James Bond’s traditional adversaries performed on breakfast TV in St Petersburg.
The lead singer performs with guttural aplomb, pausing with military efficiency to check the accuracy of the lyrics on his clipboard.
Previously known as the Red Army Choir, the Alexandrov Ensemble are the official choir of the armed forces.
After the military frontman’s vibrato opening, his style offering more than a passing nod to James Blunt’s tremulous whine, his military companions roar the chorus, giving a Slavic spin on Adele’s Oscar-winning performance.
Watch their performance on Morning on 5 above.
