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 Force (9.50pm BBC2) In an attempt to get the heart of modern policing, reporter David Rose spent six months with the Thames Valley Police. In the opening film of four, officers police the siege of Hillgrove Farm in Witney, where animal libbers are campaigning against the breeding of cats for animal testing.

Prostitute (10.45pm BBC1) 32-year-old single mother, Talia, can speak five languages and is the first subject in this new series. She turned to prostitution after losing a high-powered job in the airline industry - and insists it's worked out for the best. Sexually abused as a child, she says the job has helped her reclaim her body and boosted self-esteem.

On Air (11.15pm BBC2) Donna Bernard and The Independent's David Aaronovitch present this new series attempting to "find out what makes TV viewers weep, cheer or simply reach for the remote".
