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.

NARESH PURI hears how a small part of Middlesex suburbia has become the heart of Britain's Asian community in Southall Stories (11am R4); as one resident remembers, ending up there was the result of following his Islamic upbringing and taking the "right path" at a roundabout.

In the first of Giants of Soul (9pm R2), the American singer Daryl Hall talks through the life and workaholic times of James Brown (right), spins the hits and recalls how it might all have ended in nowheresville if it wasn't for the gospel ballad "Try Me".

Night Waves (10.45pm R3) meanwhile has a discussion about Sikh art and literature and the story of the Marquis de Sade's women.
