Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

THE ACTOR David Suchet, currently starring as Salieri in Amadeus, talks about his musical Private Passions (12noon R3) and chooses a piano concerto by the maligned composer.

The Independent's Tom Sutcliffe and guests discuss The Ground Beneath Her Feet, the new novel- cum-media event by Salman Rushdie (right) along with the latest work by Robert Lepage, Geometry of Miracles in Saturday Review (7pm R4).

In A Price Worth Paying (9.55pm R3), the former Radio 3 controller John Drummond attempts to explain why opera in this country is something to be proud of and worth paying for - pinpointing the first performance of Peter Grimes in June 1945 as the start of a renaissance.
