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.

Comic Relief has released another teaser clip from its forthcoming film, which will reunite the original cast of Four Weddings and a Funeral for the first time in 25 years.

The charity, which raises money to help end child poverty, revealed teaser clips showing each of the cast members making their return. The short film will be aired during Red Nose Day on BBC One on Friday 15 March.

"Charles, Carrie, Tom, Fiona, Matthew, David, Bernard, John, Gerald, George and some surprise guests request the pleasure of your company at the wedding of the year," the cast members announce.

The one-off special was produced with the blessing of rights holder Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios. The script was written by Richard Curtis, with some new faces, including Sophie Thompson, thrown into the mix.

The teaser comes after the "sequel" was officially confirmed last year, with Curtis commenting: "We're all definitely older – I suspect no wiser. It's been really enjoyable working out what's happened to all the characters."

Hugh Grant, who starred as Charles the beloved 1994 romantic comedy, ends the clip with the reminder: "Don't be late."
