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 LONDON shares closed down for the second day in a row, after watching Wall Street's Dow Jones Industrial Average drop in early trading.
Despite a brief rise in the first hour of dealing, the FTSE 100 index languished in negative territory for most of the day and closed down 33.1 points at 6,660.9, following a 48 point drop yesterday. Worries of an interest-rate hike later this week continued to niggle, as the Monetary Policy Committee's decision tomorrow draws closer.
