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.MUCH DELAYED by re-shoots which meant that two directors were finally credited (Robert Young and Fred Schepsi), John Cleese's much-touted Fierce Creatures (10pm Sky Premier, right) never lives up to the high standards set by its wildly successful predecessor, A Fish Called Wanda. The plot revolves around the attempts of a new zoo director (Cleese) to satisfy his megalomaniacal boss (Kevin Kline) by disposing of all the furry animals and putting savage beasts in their place.
After a few weekends devoted to international action, the rugby union spotlight is now firmly on the domestic game. Bath vs Saracens (1.30pm Sky Sports 3), this afternoon's clash, promises to be quite a fierce encounter between the current holders of the European Cup and the winners of the domestic cup competition.
