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.

STAGE-TO-SCREEN adaptations do not always work, but this film version of Trevor Nunn's award-winning West End production of Oklahoma! (8pm Sky Premier) retains much of the original's zest and exuberance. Heading a sparky cast, Maureen Lipman (right) plays the woman who is being wooed simultaneously by two men. Receiving its satellite premiere tonight, this version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical contains two numbers not included in the 1955 film of the show.

The screening of golf's Ryder Cup (11.30am) on Sky Box Office 3 has been causing some controversy, but we should not let that distract us from one of sport's great contests. Can the European team, which consists largely of rookies, retain the Cup against a talented American squad at the Country Club of Brookline in Massachusetts?
