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.GAVIN BRYARS' beautifully stylised, though rather long-winded, rendition of Jules Verne's black comedy, Dr Ox's Experiment (7.25pm R3), comes live from the English National Opera, with an enchanting libretto by Blake Morrison. It tells the story of a mad scientist who conducts a scientific experiment on a sleepy town in Flanders, with catastrophic results. The distinguished raconteur Frank Muir is recalled with touching affection by his co-writer Denis Norden (right) in a Kentish Lad Remembered (11.30am R4), which includes some rib-tickling excerpts from their radio series Take it from Here. Nightwaves (10.45pm R3) looks at the uneasy issues surrounding the display of indigenous collections abroad as the British Museum launches its first exhibition devoted to Maori art.
