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.Comedian Alan Carr is quitting his Radio 2 show.
The TV chat show host, who presents a Saturday evening slot on the BBC station, joined Radio 2 in 2009.
But he said he had made the decision to hang up his headphones because he wanted his weekends back and to concentrate on his Channel 4 show, Chatty Man.
Carr said: "I've loved every minute of it but it's time to reclaim my weekends. I wish Radio 2 every success but I'll listen from my home in the future instead."
The Chatty Man star presents Saturday evening programme Going Out With Alan Carr with Melanie Sykes on Radio 2.
The station's head of programmes, Lewis Carnie, said: "We'd like to thank Alan for his contribution over the past three years.
"Alan and his co-presenter, Mel Sykes, have made a terrific contribution to Saturday evenings on Radio 2.
"We'll be announcing plans for a new Saturday evening programme shortly."
