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.ROBERT DE NIRO (right) went through a purple patch with director Martin Scorsese in the 1970s and early 1980s. After Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, New York, New York, and Raging Bull, they collaborated on The King of Comedy (10pm Sky Cinema). In this wonderfully dark comedy about the horrors of celebrity, De Niro plays Rupert Pupkin, a loner who goes to extremes to impress his hero, talk-show host, Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis).
The first round of the cricket World Cup is throwing up some intriguing clashes, many, such as today's encounter, West Indies vs Bangladesh (10.30am Sky Sports 1), with a high potential for upset. The West Indies, who were famously beaten by Kenya in a previous World Cup, will be taking nothing for granted as they approach this match with the supposed underdogs of Bangladesh.
