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.

AGEING FANS of Blake's 7 are granted an hour of pure nostalgia this afternoon. The Saturday Play (3pm R4) is "The Syndeton Experiment", penned by Barry Letts. It reunites the original TV cast, reactivates their battle with the Federation and featuring like "If we haven't made the hyperjump within 97 minutes, we'll have missed the co-ordinates."

From Station to Stadium: the Rolling Stones on the Road (7pm R2) gathers no dross, as the band reflect on their career.

There's another chance to catch part one of Bronte's Villette in the Classic Serial (9pm R4), starring Catherine McCormack (right) and the study of Elizabeth Barrett Browning in Adventures in Poetry (11.30pm R4), first aired last Sunday.
