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.

The whole country looks set to bask in the June sunshine this week, when temperatures could hit 25C in some places.

After notching up the coldest spring since Dr No was in cinemas, the UK's weather is bouncing back, with a Met Office forecaster saying: "Everyone's going to enjoy the sunshine."

Helen Chivers, a forecaster at the Met Office, said: "We have high pressure all over the country at the moment, which brings us fine weather and that's the case today and all the way through the week.

"There will be dry weather for everybody. Some cloud, but temperatures in the high teens and going up.

"By the time we get round to Friday, in the low twenties, with some places getting up to 24 or 25 degrees."

"Everyone's going to enjoy the sunshine. Scotland and Northern Ireland have some cloud at the moment, but we expect that to break up. The best weather will be in central and south eastern parts of England."

The week's temperatures could challenge April's record high for the year so far, of 23C.
