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.

The full schedule of BBC1's Christmas Day television has been revealed, from Moana to Gavin & Stacey.

A variety of films, dramas, comedies, festive specials and children’s shows make up this year’s list, as well as the news, weather and, of course, The Queen’s Christmas Broadcast.

Highlights include a morning showing of the 1995 film Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave and, in the afternoon, animated movie Moana followed by children’s show The Snail and the Whale, starring a voice cast including Sally Hawkins and Rob Brydon.

After the Queen’s speech and into the evening, there will be Christmas specials of Strictly Come Dancing, Call the Midwife, Gavin & Stacey and Mrs Brown’s Boys, to name a few.
