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.

AFTER THE success of last year's festive interview with the 112-year-old percussion maestro Manfred Sturmer, Private Passions (12noon R3) is entertained by Lady Pilar Woffington, Argentine beauty and operatic entrepreneur. She is obviously rather smitten by presenter Michael Berkeley - a real "Renovated Man" she flatters; she is also, a little too obviously, John Sessions.

In I Had to Go Sick (10pm R3) Harold Pinter (right) reads a Kafkaesque tale by Julian Maclaren-Ross of the perils of falling ill in the army.

The Saturday Play (3pm R4) is a swaggering, melodramatic production by Sally Avens of Moonfleet, J Meade Falkner's classic tale of smuggling.
