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.FRANCE'S BLUE chips motored to their tenth consecutive closing high, led by merger buzz around telecoms stocks and a raft of strong company results.
The CAC-40 closed up 1.59 per cent at 5132.08, an all-time high. With many operators away for the Armistice Day holiday, some were alarmed at the CAC's headlong rush to new highs. Vivendi surged 3.36 per cent on the latest telecoms merger speculation. One report cited Mannesmann, BT and Vodafone Airtouch as suitors.
