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.THERE HAVE been numerous recent attempts to re-create the heyday of film noir, but few more successful than LA Confidential (10.15pm Sky Premier). In Curtis Hanson's Oscar-winning evocation of 1950s Los Angeles, Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce play warring cops who are forced to band together when a murder investigation turns really nasty. Top-notch support is provided by Kevin Spacey (right) as a canny cop and Danny DeVito as an insinuating gossip columnist, while Kim Basinger scooped the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her performance as a high-class call-girl.
Edward Elgar wrote that his moving oratorio The Dream of Gerontius (9pm Performance) was "the best of me". For this performance in St Paul's Cathedral, Sir Andrew Davis conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus.
