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.

CREST, the electronic settlement system for the London Stock Exchange (LSE), and Deutsche Borse Clearing, its German counterpart, are set to announce plans this week to allow the UK exchange to trade German equities. An LSE spokesman said: "We will be offering German securities from the end of September. The aim is to make trading BMW as easy to settle as Glaxo Wellcome."

Crest has appointed Dresdner Bank, Germany's second-biggest bank, to act as custodian, allowing trades to be settled this year for a cost of 60p per transaction.
