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.Jeremy Clarkson has divulged his favourite moment from The Grand Tour, ahead of the premiere of the new series on 30 July.
The Grand Tour: Lochdown follows presenting trio Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond up to the Scottish Highlands, as the pandemic meant they were unable to cause their usual chaos abroad.
Asked by Radio Times what his favourite moment from the new series is, Clarkson replied: “Richard Hammond falling in the sea, while going upside down again.”
Recalling the incident, Clarkson continued, “I thought, ‘Oh, Richard has gone all this way and he hasn’t gone upside down’ and then he went upside down and honestly my knees collapsed when that happened”.
Asked about his colleague’s reaction to his near-drowning, the TV host said, “He was saying afterwards, ‘Nobody tried to help me.’ But nobody could because we were too busy laughing and he forgot to put his life jacket up. So, he’s trying to swim in his life jacket and boots.”
Hammond has become notorious for getting into trouble during filming. A 2017 crash resulted in him being airlifted to hospital with a fractured knee.
