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.Veteran television presenter Rolf Harris has joined Channel 5 for a new series based in a veterinary college.
The artist and broadcaster will present Rolf's Animal Clinic from the University of Liverpool's Vet School and follow students and staff as they deal with the injuries and illnesses of domestic pets, livestock and exotic zoo animals.
He said: "The welfare of animals is something that has always been close to my heart and it's wonderful to be presenting this series which covers the fascinating and skilled work of the vets dealing with such an amazing range of animals."
Harris has had a long association with the BBC including the hugely successful Animal Hospital series and was part of the Diamond Jubilee concert in front of Buckingham Palace.
Commissioning editor Ian Dunkley said: "The series gets to the emotional heart of what it is to be a vet - from the drama of life-saving equine surgery, to how best to deal with an overweight pet. Having Rolf as the presenter is a fantastic addition to the series."
The series is made up of six hour-long shows and will be shown in October.
