Pick of the Day: Satellite and Cable
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.JODIE FOSTER (right), a Yale graduate, always impresses most in roles where her natural intelligence is allowed to shine through. She plays a scientist in Contact (8pm Sky Premier), a taut sci-fi thriller from Robert Zemeckis, which is receiving its satellite premiere tonight. The director harnesses his mastery of special effects to this story of a woman obsessed with making contact with an alien race. When she does, she becomes convinced that she is being instructed how to travel to meet them. Matthew McConaughey and one Bill Clinton co-star.
Rugby Union: Richmond vs Newcastle (2pm Sky Sports 2) features two clubs who have recently undergone financial restructuring, but that hasn't stopped them progressing to the semi-final of the Tetley's Bitter Cup. Expect a crunching clash between two powerful sides.
