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.

CONTINUING THE trend of merging drama and documentary is Cuban Solo (2.15pm R4), David Pownall's account of the life and murder of the Cuban anti-corruption judge and classical composer, Alejandro Caturla. The research behind the play brought new information to light. Sadly though, Robert Glenister's Caturla conjures Harrow rather than Havana.

There are two celebrations tonight: in Performance on 3 (7pm R3), the London Mozart Players mark their 50th anniversary with a concert at the Royal Festival Hall.

Ruskin at 100 (8pm R4) charts the history of the Oxford college and ponders its role in the 21st century with a little help from John Prescott (right).
