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.

For a moment, Jonah Hill was visibly terrified as a man ran towards him on a busy New York street.

It turns out the man with a cap and holding up a phone in front of his face was his friend and The Wolf of Wall Street co-star, Leonardo DiCaprio.

Although Mr DiCaprio was not a crazed fan or member of the paparazzi, the prank was still caught on video.

Mr Hill was walking along a street in New York City on Monday when he paused to look at his phone outside a restaurant.

The pair had planned to meet in the West Village.

Mr DiCaprio, coming down the same street, held up his own phone as if to take a video and ran towards his co-star.

Mr Hill seemed relieved as he realised it was his friend and they embraced.

The Wolf of Wall Street, set in New York, was released in December 2013 and generated $392 million worldwide, making it the highest grossing film for director Martin Scorsese.
