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.

BEFORE THE Five Nations began, the pundits were writing off Scotland as near-certainties for the wooden spoon. However, an inspired victory over Wales at Murrayfield a fortnight ago has changed those predictions. Now, today's match - England vs Scotland (1.30pm Sky Sports 2) - does not look such a foregone conclusion. All the same, you would still expect England's titanic pack, led by captain Lawrence Dallaglio and lock Martin Johnson, to be victorious on a ground where Scotland have not won since 1983.

Since the death of John F Kennedy, Americans like nothing more than a conspiracy theory. This makes a neat starting-point for Conspiracy Theory (10pm Sky Premier), a superior thriller in which paranoid New York cab driver Mel Gibson (right) becomes enmeshed in a web of intrigue.
