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.

At the time of going to press, the Royal Ballet was still dancing away despite rumoured plans to cut adrift from the Royal Opera House, so they should still be on for a three-week season at the Sadler's Wells Theatre. There is a varied programme of short works and a revival of Twyla Tharp's Rossini ballet, Mr Worldly Wise (above). The company was hit hard recently by news that Tetsuya Kumakawa would leave, but this has meant that young virtuoso Shi-Ning Liu will get a showing. This week's programme features MacMillan's Concerto, William Forsythe's In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated and William Tuckett's jolly celebration of Celtic mouth music, Puirt-a-Beul. On Friday, they switch to Mr Worldly Wise, led by Irek Mukhamedov. A chance to remind yourself what all the fuss is about.
