My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

Every week in the lead-up to the next episode of Doctor Who, the excitement gradually builds.

And now, with just three days to go until episode five airs, new pictures have been released to give fans a taster of what is to come.

The forthcoming instalment, titled "Time Heist", sees the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and his assistant Clara (Jenna Coleman) setting out to rob the bank of Karabraxos - the deadliest bank in the cosmos.

But of course their task is not easy – the pair must evade security and come face-to-face with the Teller, a creature that can detect guilt.

Viewers will also be introduced to Ms Delphox (played by guest star Keeley Hawes), whose role as the head of security renders her a woman to be reckoned with.

The countdown to the heist begins...

Doctor Who continues on Saturday 20 September on BBC One
