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.

The first trailer for ABBA musical sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again has been released.

10 years after the hugely successful first film grossed over $600m (£449m) globally, all of the original cast - including Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried and Julie Walters - have returned for the sequel that will show the backstory of Streep's character in flashback featuring a younger version of Donna played by Lily James.

The trailer has led to concerns from fans that Donna has, in fact, died with the film reflecting upon her past in memory of the character.

Dominic Cooper, Christine Baranski and the actors behind Sophie's possible dads - Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgård and Colin Firth - will also return for more alongside a cameo appearance from Cher who shows up at the trailer's climax as her "uninvited" grandmother.

Written and directed by The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel's Ol Parker, the film will see ABBA members Benny Anderson and Björn Ulvaeus once again provide music and lyrics for the surefire blockbuster.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again will be released on 20 July 2018.
