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.

Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn will go head to head at Prime Minister's Questions for the final time of 2016.

The latest political stories are:

Handful of MPs turn up for urgent Aleppo debate
Labour unveils plan to end rough sleeping
Lords say May should guarantee EU citizens' rights
Women suffer 86 per cent of Tory benefit cuts

This week's Prime Minister's Questions is the first time in two weeks the pair have met as the Prime Minister was attending the Gulf Cooperation Council in Bahrain last week.

It comes a day ahead of Ms May's visit to a key EU summit in Brussels.

The issue of Aleppo is sure to be raised at the PMQs session as the Syrian civil war reaches its most bloody point yet.

At a sparsely-attended emergency debate MPs discussed the emergency action they believed should be taken, while some blamed Ed Miliband blocking intervention in 2013 for the slaughter.
