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.

Justin Bieber has confirmed that his teased collaboration with Ed Sheeran will be released this week.

Posting on Instagram, the musician shared a short clip of the track, writing on Twitter: “Check my Instagram story. It’s happening. #friday.”

Both Bieber and Sheeran posted what appeared to be lyrics from the song, with the two photos having to be matched up to read them properly.

“Cause I don’t care/When I’m with my baby yeah/All the bad things disappear,” the lyrics read.

The pair had previously teased new music together, marking their second collaboration since Bieber’s single “Love Yourself”, which was co-written by Sheeran and appeared on the 2015 album Purpose.

Both posted photos of themselves posed in front of a green screen and wearing colourful, short-sleeved button-down shirts, alongside the caption “10”.

In March this year, the 25-year-old Bieber announced he was taking a hiatus from music in order to focus on his personal life.
