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.

ANDY GARCIA does troubled very well. He has cause to look that way quite a bit in Sidney Lumet's conspiracy thriller, Night Falls on Manhattan (10pm Sky Premier). He plays a New York lawyer alarmed to discover that someone close to home may be caught up in law enforcement corruption. Lena Olin (The Unbearable Lightness of Being) plays a fellow lawyer and love interest, while the always reliable Ian Holm takes the role of Garcia's father. Lumet, who has trodden similar territory before in films such as Serpico, Prince of the City and Q & A, handles proceedings with his customary aplomb.

Reports that Eric Clapton (right) may give up performing live will have distressed his fans. They can be reminded of what they might soon be missing with Eric Clapton - 24 Hours (12midn't VH-1).
