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.

New pictures have been released giving a glimpse of what is to come in the Doctor Who season finale this weekend.

The teaser images for “Death in Heaven” show the Doctor, Clara and an irate Missy standing in a graveyard surrounded by the Cybermen, who are back to “range across the universe”.

In other pictures, Missy, who was revealed as the first female incarnation of the Doctor last episode, can be seen screaming with frustration at the Time Lord.

Meanwhile, Clara Oswald and Danny Pink are nowhere to be seen in the majority of the teaser photos.

Sanjeev Bhaskar makes his first appearance in the finale, who appears to play a character who is a high-ranking member of the military.

The Goodness Gracious Me star marks the final special guest appearance this series, which has included an impressive line-up from Frank Skinner to singer Foxes.

UNIT double act Kate Stewart and Osgood also make a return after appearing in the 50th anniversary special The Day of the Doctor last year.

The series eight finale of Doctor Who will air on BBC One on Saturday 8 November at 8pm.
