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.

With only a couple of weeks to go before the release of the Sherlock special, the BBC have released yet another trailer for the forthcoming episode.

In the latest clip we get a first look at the titular ‘Abominable Bride’, with her presented as a shotgun wielding woman with a veil over her face.

“The stage is set, the curtain rises, we are ready to begin. The avenging ghost,” says Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock as the 40 second begins. Watch below.

The Victorian themed episode features many of the shows actors return, including Martin Freeman who plays accomplice Dr. Watson.

According to writer Mark Gatiss "there's a fair chance" you'll see the character Mycroft in the special, yet little else is known about it.

The only real pieces of information we have are littered throughout the trailers, which all have quite a dark tone to them.

Sherlock: The Abominable Bride airs New Year’s Day at 9pm on BBC1.
