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.SHARES staged a late rally in Tokyo helping the Nikkei 225 index to close 71.81 or 0.45 per cent higher at 16,199.99, the first upturn in five days.
Initially the index opened higher in line with Wall Street but continuing concerns about the bad debts of the banking system and further disappointing news on the economic outlook sent the index down 180 points, falling below 16,000 for the first time since 1 April, before the weaker yen encouraged some late bargain-hunting.
