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.BLUE SKY (8pm FilmFour), Tony Richardson's (Tom Jones) last film, was not a box-office smash, but it showcases two marvellous performances. Jessica Lange (right) has always impressed as women on the verge of a nervous breakdown (cf Frances). She picked up an unexpected, yet well-merited Best Actress Oscar, as the wife of a military man (the equally good Tommy Lee Jones). When he is sent away on duty, she embarks on an ill-advised affair with another officer (Powers Booth).
The qualification process for the European Championships in the Low Countries next year is really hotting up. A lot is riding on tonight's game, Scotland vs Czech Republic (7pm Sky Sports 1). The Scottish manager, Craig Brown, will be hoping that the rejuvenated Gary McAllister marshalls the team with his usual sense of authority.
