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.The BBC is to remake its hit 1970s Cornish costume drama Poldark.
The show, based on novels by Winston Graham, followed the life of soldier Ross Poldark, who returned to his home in Cornwall from the American War of Independence to find his fiancee believed him dead and was about to marry his cousin.
It was a big hit with viewers when it was first transmitted between 1975 and 1977.
The new series, made up of six hour-long episodes, is one of four new shows announced today including Our Zoo - about the man who built Chester Zoo - and From There To Here, which is set in Manchester in the aftermath of the IRA bombing of the city centre.
The BBC has also commissioned a new series from EastEnders writer Tony Jordan called Dickensian, which will bring characters from Charles Dickens's books to life in new stories.
