Awards: All eyes on Ireland
WHERE TO GO, WHAT TO SEE, WHAT TO DO
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.Music: The Eurovision Song Contest is upon us, hosted - yet again - by Ireland, who have done this for the last four out of five years. For the first time in its 42 years the viewers will be able to vote. Britain goes for it with Katrina and the Waves, singing "Love Shine". BBC1/Radio 2 8pm
Awards: Our very own (less glittering) Oscars, the Bafta Awards, can be seen on BBC1 tomorrow night after pre-recording at the Albert Hall earlier in the evening. Another chance for The English Patient to carry off all a la Oscar night, and a virtually identical nomination line-up, with the exception of interesting oddity, John Sayles's Lone Star (Best Screenplay) BBC1 10pm
