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.

While the next series of Doctor Who may not be set to debut until next year (2020), the BBC has begun teasing Jodie Whittaker's second outing as the eponymous Time Lord.

The show's official Twitter account has posted a photo of the four main cast members (Whittaker, Bradley Walsh, Mandip Gill, and Tosin Cole) back together with the caption "Doctor Who is back in production!"

No further details on why the group are back together have been revealed, and it remains unknown whether they are working on the next series or a potential special episode.

The BBC confirmed in December that Whittaker would return as The Doctor for at least on more season, with showrunner Chris Chibnall also coming back.

“We’re off again!” he said in a statement. “Well we never actually stopped — as Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor and friends have been winning the hearts of families, we’ve been busy with a whole new set of action-packed adventures for the Thirteenth Doctor.

"We adore making this show and have been blown away by the response from audiences, so we can’t wait to bring more scares, more monsters and more Bradley Walsh, Mandip Gill, and Tosin Cole. Brilliant!”

Doctor Who's twelfth season does not have a release date.
