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.

The Corrs (right), with their cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" bouncing around the top 10, have announced a British tour in December. Their platinum- selling album, Talk On Corners, features "flighty Celtic roots" and "love, life, tragedy, hope, dreams, fantasy," says Andrea Corr. They visit Nottingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Cardiff and there are a few tickets remaining for Birmingham, Brighton and Bournemouth.

Tickets pounds 15-16.50, available from venue box offices and usual agencies or by calling Ticket zone: 0990 321 321

Last Call

The Olivier Award-nominated production of Othello ends its run at the Lyttelton Theatre this weekend. Set in the Thirties, director Sam Mendes puts David Harewood, the first black actor at the National to play Othello, in a dinner jacket and gives Venice a mildly fascist air. Simon Russell Beale is Iago, Claire Skinner is sweet Desdemona and Antony Ward designed the austere set (indebted to Trevor Nunn's famous Edwardian production of the play).

National Theatre, Lyttelton, South Bank, London SE1 (0171-452 3000) 12 Jun at 7pm and 13 Jun at 1.30 and 7pm
