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.

After days of rain, people heading to bonfires across the country tonight look set for a drier evening, according to the Met Office.

The South-east, London and south Wales will see the clouds clearing as the evening sets in and staying dry from about 8pm.

Temperatures will hover around 12 to 13 C in these areas, with the Met Office still advising warm coats and wellington boots.

In northern England, southern Scotland and the Midlands, meanwhile, the evening would see a few showers but should also not be too wet.

Winds would be blowing in these areas, however, bringing temperatures down slightly.

A Met Office spokesman said: "It will be windy in those areas, which might blow some smoke around and cause some localised issues.

"But it should be fairly reasonable conditions for going out. We'd advise still wrapping up warm."
