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.

Organic food magnate, humanitarian, heir to the throne, would-be defender of faith, father-in-law to Bucklebury’s most famous export – is there anything Prince Charles can’t do?

Apparently not – he is even trying his hand at TV, guest-editing an episode of the gently fascinating Countryfile next month. So what’s it going to be like with PC at the helm? Trending has been given a sneak look at its Radio Times listing.

7.00 Countryfile

In the wake of the horse-meat scandal, rural vets have been saying “neigh!” to the painkiller bute. But can homeopathy make fillies as fit as a fiddle? Julia Bradbury goes on an equine investigation to find out. Meanwhile, John Craven explores the beautiful duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster.

Also on this week’s show, Prince Charles gives resident farmer Adam Henson a lesson in plant-whispering, and there will be special reports on organic food being the very best thing you can put in your mouth, and model villages where the sedate streets are never, ever, ever dug up by horrid workmen in unsightly high-vis jackets. Finally, the segment “Hunting – it’s bloody brilliant” is sure to have BBC phones buzzing!
