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.

The millennium Dome could become the venue for the game show of the century, it emerged yesterday.

Organisers of the Dome said they are negotiating with television companies for shows to be beamed from the site in Greenwich throughout 2000.

No deals have been agreed, but it is thought that a highlight of the television schedules will be a long-running game show, culminating in a series of contests of physical and mental ability in the Dome.

Other television events expected to take advantage of the Dome's television studios and massive display space include awards ceremonies, concerts, discussion shows and educational programmes.

A spokesman for the New Millennium Experience Company, which has the task of filling the Dome, said: "No deal has been signed and I cannot confirm any details of what programmes might be made ... but we expect a number of live broadcasts from the Dome."
