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.

LEADING GERMAN shares wiped out Monday's rebound as concerns about a possible US interest rate hike continued to play havoc with European markets. The DAX 30 ended down 21.82 points at 5,107.68.

The DAX has fallen some 10 per cent since its year high on 12 July and dealers said it could fall even more should the rate worries get the most of Wall Street. "I think if the US continues down the DAX will have to follow it," said one.
