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.

Miley Cyrus has ditched the foam finger in favour of dwarves for her latest performance on German television.

The singer has courted controversy once again by performing her single "Can’t Stop" on game show Schlag Den Raab surrounded by a number of dwarves on stage.

Cyrus’s support acts can be seen playing instruments and performing the dance move which proved so divisive at the MTV Video Music Awards last week: twerking.

At one point the 20-year-old can be seen slapping a blonde dwarf (who is herself wearing silver spanx) on the bum.

The child star, who gained fame as Disney's Hannah Montana, later tweeted a picture of herself posing with the five dwarves backstage.

The performance comes days after US Vogue editor Anna Wintour reportedly refused to have Cyrus on the cover of the December edition following her raunchy performance at the VMAs.

Cyrus's PR machine is continuing its whirlwind activity as the star continues to shake off the clean-cut girl-next-door persona. Yesterday she revealed the video for the new single "Wrecking Ball" (below) in which she appears naked while writhing on a large metal ball.

The star, whose emphatic tongue-wagging at the VMAs divided critics, can also be seen suggestively licking the large metal ball which she is straddles while singing "Wreck me".
