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.

BRUCE WILLIS is in typically rip-roaring form in The Fifth Element (10pm Sky Premier, right), a gripping sci-fi thriller directed by Jean Luc Besson. Willis plays a former soldier and taxi driver in 23rd-century New York who is called upon to help the Fifth Element, an exotic being played by Milla Jovovich. Linking earth, wind, fire and water, she alone can save the Earth from destruction. Gary Oldman plays the face of evil, while Ian Holm and Lee Evans offer Willis good support.

Even in the days before rugby league, there was no such thing as a friendly in Gloucester vs Bath (1.30pm Sky Sports 2) matches. Bath have not been their usual consistent selves of late, and the fact that Gloucester and their ferocious supporters are always a tough prospect at home will not help Bath's chances.
