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.ROBERT ROBINSON is your host for Divided We Stand (8.45pm R4). In four programmes he takes some odd squints at the last century, starting with correspondence columns - cue complaints about modern youth and dogmatically laid-down etiquette (the kilt should never be worn south of Stirling). All this is enlivened or deadened, according to taste, by Robinson's customary epigrammatic, faintly acid irony. This evening's concert is a live performance of Haydn's The Seasons in Performance on 3 (7.30pm R3) while Seamus Heaney (right), about to publish his collected poems, talks to Patrick Wright and discusses the place of poetry in the modern world in Night Waves (10.45pm R3).
