Radio: Pick of the Day
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.IF YOU ever did Latin at school, you'll be quite familiar with the concept of a question expecting the answer "No": and surely this category includes the title of tonight's documentary marking 50 years of the UN Declaration of Human Rights - A Better World? (8pm R4). No, but it was certainly a good idea. John Sweeney looks at what the Declaration was supposed to do, and what it actually has done.
A different sort of lost utopia features in Between the Lanes (9pm R2), in which Bob Harris, here sounding off loud and clear, looks at all the changes motorways have made to our lives since the Preston Bypass was opened in 1958, only to be closed for repairs three months later. Some things never change.
