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.

24: Live Another Day actors Kiefer Sutherland and Stephen Fry are to work together once more in one-off Sky Arts drama Playhouse Presents…Marked.

The latest instalment in the series will see Sutherland play a character called James who agree to do a hit for his neighbour in order to pay off debts.

As he reaches the point of no return with the murder, James is confronted by Fry's character, who is "the last person he expects to see", according to Sky.

Greg Ellis will write and direct the one-off, with Fry serving as executive producer alongside Gina Carter and Jo McClellan.

The pair recently starred in 24's comeback series Live Another Day, with Sutherland returning as CTU agent Jack Bauer and Fry playing British Prime Minister Alastair Davies.

Sutherland's next movie will be a western called Forsaken, which will see him star opposite his father Donald Sutherland (The Hunger Games).
