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.

CHARLOTTE BRONTE'S (right) mental state while writing Jane Eyre is contextualised and imaginatively reconstructed in the Afternoon Play (2.15pm R4).

The last and largest event in Radio 3's Sounding the Century festival, "Endless Parade", a celebration of British music since the war, begins with the live relay of a BBC symphony orchestra concert at the Royal Festival Hall in Performance on 3 (7.30pm R3). An impressive sample has been drawn from Birtwistle, Britten, Tippett and Richard Causton. Midway through, in The British Renaissance (8.20pm R3), Paul Griffiths offers an opinion as to why there is an abundance of compositional talent and sounds a warning note that the upsurge is faltering.
