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.

BRAZILIAN share prices fell into negative territory last night in a round of profit-taking that followed a rise of almost 4 per cent earlier in the session. The market grew nervous when government-backed institutions appeared to stop buying after an early flurry of activity which coincided with the release of the long-awaited fiscal package, traders said.

The Bovespa index of leading shares closed 0.62 per cent lower at 6,827 points in moderate volume of 583 million reals.
