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.Pudsey Bear will be back in our living rooms tonight as Children in Need returns to BBC One for another charity fundraising bonanza.
The fun-filled event will be broadcast live from EastEnders' iconic Albert Square, with a host of big names joining the line-up.
Sir Terry Wogan, Tess Daly, Nick Grimshaw, Fearne Cotton and The Saturdays singer Rochelle Humes will be presenting, with all money going to help disadvantaged children across the country. More than £740 million has been raised since the first show in 1980.
But what do viewers have to look forward to and keep them watching from 7pm through to 2am? Take a look through the confirmed schedule and make sure you don't miss a thing:
