Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

It's Baftas time again, with TV in the spotlight tonight at London's Theatre Royal.

Sheridan Smith, Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman are just a handful of the big names up for major prizes at the star-studded ceremony, hosted by Graham Norton.

Prior to the ceremony kicking off at 7pm (BBC coverage begins at 8pm), the likes of Maisie Williams, James Nesbitt, James Corden, Mary Berry, Eleanor Tomlinson and Chris O'Dowd began arriving on the red carpet.

Have a flick through our gallery of gorgeous dresses and dapper suits below:

Smith is favourite to win her second Leading Actress gong for Cilla this evening, with Cumberbatch the bookie's bet for Leading Actor for Sherlock.

Colman has earned her fourth consecutive nomination, this year for her role as a vicar's wife in comedy Rev. She won for her highly-acclaimed performance as DS Ellie Miller in Broadchurch last year.
