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.

LOUISE ARBOUR (right), the chief prosecutor at the United Nations War Crimes Tribunal, takes some time out from tracking down war criminals to talk to Jenni Murray about her work in Bosnia and Rwanda in Woman's Hour (10am R4), as well as her hopes for the future.

Despite its look-at-me title, The Michael Feinstein Songbook - Turns Another Page (7pm R2) is a peach. The American cabaret singer and Gershwin archivist presents a second series devoted to songwriting legends, beginning with Jay Livingstone and Ray Evans, the Academy Award-showered octogenarian duo responsible for "Que Sera, Sera", "Mona Lisa" and, bless, the theme tune to the immortal TV western series, Bonanza.
