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.

7pm, BBC1
Showing nightly this week, with each episode covering a year of the First World War, Tony Jordan’s brisk and very straightforward “family drama” follows two young volunteers (Patrick Gibson and Jack Lowden) from exuberance to disillusionment by way of Flanders.
Trollied
8.30pm, Sky 1
I wonder how Valco’s share price is holding up in the midst of the Tesco supermarket crisis? Miriam Margolyes joins the cast as Colin’s forthright grandmother, while Colin himself (Carl Rice) goes power crazy when he is promoted to management.
Gareth’s All-Star Choir
9pm, BBC1
Gareth Malone forms a choir of celebrities (including Alison Steadman, Craig Revel Horwood, Jo Brand and Mel Giedroyc), with the aim of recording this year’s Children in Need single.
Intruders
9pm, BBC2
There’s a lot of driving at night in the rain in this week’s episode of BBC America’s body-snatcher drama, as John Simm’s ex-cop continues looking for his wife (Mira Sorvino).
Micky Flanagan’s Detour de France
9pm, Sky1
“It’s not a travelogue,” insists Flanagan. “We’re going on a jolly-up.” The idea is to pedal around France (and a bit of Belgium) with his bricklayer mate Noel. And very jolly it is too, if you like Flanagan.
Toast Of Britain
10.35pm, Channel 4
Steven Toast is recording “mind the gap” announcements for Transport for London when we rejoin Matt Berry’s bombastic actor for a fresh run of this politically incorrect romp.
