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.

Bear Grylls smashed through the studio windows of ITV's flagship daytime programme This Morning on Friday.

Trailed by journalists, Grylls began his epic adventure to the sofa of the cosy daytime programme by travelling up the Thames in a motor boat, then scaling the building and swinging through the window on a rope.

The daring adventurer then kicked over a couple of vases of flowers.

While the stunt looked dangerous, Grylls said it made him "chuckle" - and it won him some fans.

However, you just can't please everybody:

Grylls has form for making dramatic entrances. He abseiled in to a New York premiere of one of his series in New York in 2009.
