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.

Apple is gearing up to hold its Worldwide Developers Conference, where it will reveal the new iOS, Mac OS and services like Apple Music. If you want to follow along live, Apple is broadcasting a livestream — but only to select people.

Apple’s livestream will be viewable at apple.com/live and on the Apple TV just before 6pm UK time, when the event is scheduled to start. The official stream can only be watched using Apple devices: either using Safari on Mac OS or on iPhone, or using the Apple Events app on the Apple TV.

In recent years, Apple has added extra features to the live site, like official pictures and round-ups as the event goes on. It also provides the option to add the event to your calendar to receive a reminder of when it's about to start.

There are unofficial ways of getting it on a PC or Android computer. Downloading VLC and locating the address for the stream — usually widely shared once the event has got going — will bring up the stream, though it’s often patchy and needs continuously refreshing.

If you can’t watch, or want to follow along while you do, then The Independent’s live blog is already up and running. We’ll be bringing you all the rumours as they break, and then analysis during and after the event.
