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.THE PARIS bourse set its second consecutive closing record for 1999, despite fears that the conflict in the Balkans will escalate.
The Cac-40 hit an intra-day high of 4,410.27, but tumbled by almost 100 points following reports that Serb troops had crossed into Albania. The index eventually closed up 0.28 per cent at 4,367.41.
One dealer said: "We saw a knee-jerk reaction to the news of the Serbs in Albania, and from now on the action there will bring increasing pressure on sentiment."
