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.EQUITIES HAD a dismal day, beset by worries about the Russian and Asian economies and a sharp sell-off in New York. Footsie crashed 154.8 points (after 184.3) to 5,432.8, its lowest since late January. Other indices also suffered setbacks.
Had BP not rolled out its merger with Amoco, the US group, Footsie could have been down as much as 250. BP ended 22p up at 795p after a 126p gain just after the Amoco deal was rolled out. British Airways dived 48p to 509p.
