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.

While autumn has officially begun, parts of the UK are set to enjoy a final flourish of summer sunshine before the drearier weather sets in.

Experts predict that the pleasant weather which residents of the south and the south east are currently enjoying will continue until the end of the week.

On Wednesday, temperatures will soar above the September average of 16.5 C to 19C, and by Friday will likely hit 21C.

Sheltered spots in London could see even higher temperatures, according to Met Office spokeswoman Nicola Maxey.

But further north, the temperatures will be slightly cooler.
