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.NICARAGUA IS the focus of Crossing Continents (11am R4). Isabel Hilton asks why a country that embraced socialism has such a high level of domestic violence.
At the Beeb (9.30pm R2) celebrates the career of Ronnie Barker (right) with a collage of clips, from unfunny sketches with Ronnie Corbett to nostalgia- inducing snatches of Porridge and Open All Hours.
The military historian John Keegan's look at the changing face of heroism, The Mask of Command, excerpted in The Late Book (12.30am R4) builds towards an assessment of leadership in the nuclear age. The false heroics of Adolf Hitler, the self-titled "First Soldier of the Reich" and botcher of Stalingrad, are put under the microscope.
