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.

EUROPEAN SHARES followed Wall Street higher and the CAC-40 share index in Paris reached a new closing high for the year, up 78.43 at 4,379.34, a gain of 1.82 per cent, in spite of a 5.44 per cent slump in France Telecom, which knocked 30 points off the index.

Among the biggest rises were shares which fell on Friday after falling out of the Eurotop 100 share index, including LVMH, up 10 per cent, L'Oreal, which rose 8 per cent, and Saint-Gobain which rose more than 6 per cent.
