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.

CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS (8pm Sky Cinema), one of Woody Allen's most accomplished films of recent years, skilfully interweaves light and shade. It even features the first murder to take place in an Allen movie. Darkness is provided by Martin Landau (right) as a respectable doctor who resorts to desperate measures in order to silence his mistress (Anjelica Huston) when she threatens to expose their affair. Meanwhile, Allen himself furnishes light relief with a humorous storyline about the clash between an ideological film-maker (Allen) and his more commercial TV director brother-in-law (Alan Alda).

The US Open (3.30pm Sky Sports 2), one of golf's most sought-after titles, starts today at the Pinehurst Number Two Course in North Carolina. The European challenge could be led by Lee Westwood.
