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.

10.35pm, BBC1
At home in the Hollywood Hills with the musician and the Voice UK judge. Not entirely sure why a patently star-struck Joanna Lumley (above left, with will.i.am) has this gig, although she claims to have been obsessed with him since seeing him carrying the Olympic torch in 2012.
Mammon
9pm, More4
Scandi-noir, and it’s not on Saturday-night BBC4. More4’s promising new Norwegian import begins in 2008, when journalist Peter Veras (Jon Oigarden) uncovers a financial scandal that leads to his own brother, and continues in 2013, when Veras and his sister-in-law receive a mysterious suitcase containing diving gear.
Gardeners' World
9pm, BBC2
Carol Klein celebrates the daffodil (aren’t daffs over by now?), Monty Don pots up dahlia tubers and Joe Swift meets a Lancashire woman who has spent two decades creating a garden on a cliff face. Excellent for climbing plants, no doubt.
The Genius of Bert Jansch: Folk, Blues & Beyond
9pm & 2.30am, BBC4
A celebration of the Scottish guitarist, songwriter and founding member of the band Pentangle, who died in 2011. Robert Plant, Johnny Marr and Ralph McTell are among several illustrious names claiming inspiration from Jansch.
A Very British Renaissance
9.30pm, BBC2
James Fox explores the development of artistic ideas in Elizabethan England – an age obsessed with secrets and codes.
