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.

It is always bound to cause a ripple on Love Island when a new contestant arrives in Casa Amor.

The second villa in the ITV2 series is where half of the contestants are taken to meet new Islanders away from their current partners.

Jack Barlow is one of six new male contestants who are joining the rival villa. The 26-year-old racing driver and coach from East Sussex is intent on meeting “the one” after being single for two years.

The dog-lover – and owner of a fluffy husky with piercing blue eyes – used to race in the Formula 4 Championships for MBM Motorsport until he had an accident when he was 19 when he injured his back.

He still races, but has branched out to track driving coaching and stunt driving.

He might be real competition for Hugo after admitting he has set his sights on Chloe. It largely depends if she’s impressed by fast cars, which seems to be a highlight on his Instagram account.

‘Love Island’ continues on ITV at 9pm
