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.

Anne-Marie has reacted to falling on stage during her Brit Awards performance.

Taking to Twitter just minutes after she fell down a set of stairs during the opening moments of her performance of “Don’t Play”, with KSI and Digital Farm Animals, the pop singer brushed it off by joking: “Didn’t need my left ankle anyway.”

Dressed in a sparkly red dress, Anne-Marie appeared to lose her footing and dropped to the floor but continued to sing, recovering to cheers from the crowd.

She was then joined by KSI for the rest of their performance. The Youtuber turned singer and rapper then went on to perform “Holiday”, which was also nominated for Song of the Year.

Anne-Marie was supported by her fans on Twitter with people calling her a “true professional” and many said that she “did amazing” given the circumstances.

One fan also posted: “What an amazing performance after what looked like a horrible accident, absolutely smashed it.”

Anne Marie later joked that she’d “be in touch” with Specsavers after the accident.
