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.

Tom Cruise's latest demanding role will be on Top Gear - as the "star in a reasonably priced car".

The Days Of Thunder actor and fellow Hollywood A-lister Cameron Diaz will each take a spin in a Kia cee'd, in a bid to complete the fastest lap they can.

Their efforts will be shown on Sunday's BBC2 show, the broadcaster confirmed.

The stars will be hoping to trounce Harry Potter star Rupert Grint, who has set the bar with his speedy lap.

Mission Impossible star Cruise and Charlie's Angels actress Diaz are in Britain to promote their new movie Knight And Day.

A glitzy UK premiere for the action comedy is taking place in London's Leicester Square today.

Cruise is known for his marathon meet and greet sessions with fans at premieres.
