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 BBC has launched a new download feature which means people can store programmes from the iPlayer on to their phone or tablet and watch them later without an internet connection.

Shows can be downloaded free, kept for up to 30 days and watched anywhere. The feature is available on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices and will be introduced to Android devices later this year.

Daniel Danker, general manager for programmes and on-demand for the BBC, said viewers could fill up their devices and take programmes with them on holiday.
