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.Bloom (8.30pm C4) Rest your weary eyes with this soothing new series about flowers. The opener centres on the orchid family. Anne Swithinbank and Bill Chudziak show that, contrary to popular belief, not all orchids are hard to cultivate. Paul Mowberry first fell for orchids when he worked at a local garden centre. Instead of wages, he was paid with a cymbidium.
The Truth about Women (9pm ITV) Tracey Ullman, Zoe Ball, Jane Horrocks, Denise Van Outen and Maureen Lipman contribute to this new series on "what it takes to be a woman in Nineties Britain". The first episode focuses on the rather major topic of "Love and Sex".
Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends (9.30pm BBC2) Yet another series reinforcing the comforting British belief that the US is populated by cranks and weirdos. At least host Louis Theroux (son of novelist Paul) is part-American.
