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'S A welcome repeat for the novelist Louise Doughty's feature Great-Grandad Had a Flat Head (11am R4), in which she contrasts the lives of her Romany ancestors with those of today's travellers. Her roving investigation takes her to Barnet Horse Fair and Peterborough, where she chats to her aunt.
In Morley at the Musicals (7pm R2), the theatre critic Sheridan Morley makes the first of six forays into the world of stage musicals. Today's programme looks at treatments of American political life.
Trevor Barnes' examination of serious theological questions, Believe It or Not (11pm R2), ponders the existence of the Devil. Toyah Willcox (right), of all people, has something to tell us.
