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 Airbus manufacturer Eads, which recently failed in an attempt to merge with the defence giant BAE Systems, has seen its finances hit as it fixes faults on its A380 superjumbo.
It said yesterday that it had spent €200m (£160m) of an expected total bill of €260m repairing cracks in the aircraft's wings. There is also a cashflow deficit of about €3bn after a row with the German government over a development loan for a new passenger jet. However, the finance director Harald Wilhelm said cashflow would break even by the year end. The group's profit fell by 1 per cent to €309m for July-September.
