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.

AS A RELIEF from all the goodwill that floats around at this time of year, we have Animals Behaving Badly (9pm R4), the first of four programmes on the appalling things that animals do to each other. This is not just the traditional big cat killing an antelope that is a staple of wildlife TV, but really unpleasant things like mob killings by gangs of rooks and cannibalism.

Christmas Cocktails (7pm R3) tonight offers a selection of wartime danceband songs including Judy Garland (right) singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".

Also worth a listen is Nick Barraclough's New Country Christmas (7pm R2), which promises, among other treats, "Leroy the Redneck Reindeer".
