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.

SHARES ENDED slightly higher after a moribund session which dealers blamed on a lack of fresh trading incentives. The FTSE 100 gained a meagre 5.4 points to 6,126.4 having meandered within a 50-point range for much of the day.

Telecoms and oils pulled the index up, with BT, BP Amoco, Vodafone AirTouch and Shell Transport and Trading yielding 20 points. BT was rebounding after weak sessions and BP Amoco was on the rise ahead of results today.
