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.

THANKS TO Cracker, Robbie Coltrane (right) is one our most successful TV stars, but he has never quite hit the big time in films. Still, he turns in an enjoyable performance in Nuns on the Run (8pm FilmFour), a comedy from Jonathan Lynn. He and Eric Idle play petty criminals who go on the run after stealing money from a violent Mr Big. They soon find themselves obliged to take cover in a convent, dressed as nuns.

Competition for places in this year's Ryder Cup team in Brookline, USA is hotting up, so there is more to play for at the Euro Tour Golf: German Open (1pm Sky Sports 3) than just the title. Australian Stephen Allan is defending his crown at the Sporting Club in Berlin, but do not write off the home players who include rising stars Sven Struever and Alex Cejka and the evergreen Bernhard Langer.
