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 Tunnel (7.40pm BBC2) The Channel Tunnel was a project envisaged as long ago as the reign of Napoleon, but it took another powerful leader, Margaret Thatcher, to make it finally happen many years later. This new three-part series retraces the history of the tunnel - the first part, narrated by James Naughtie, follows the unusual negotiations between the free-marketeer Mrs Thatcher and the Socialist President of France, Francois Mitterand, which led to the agreement to construct the link.
Cancer Wars (8pm C4) Cancer can be seen as the dominant illness of the late 20th century. One person in three suffers from it, and trillions of dollars are spent in pursuit of a cure for it. This new four-parter recounts the history of the disease. It opens with "Blind Eye to Danger", which demonstrates how early warnings about the illness were ignored.
