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.

r Electronic Retailing Systems, AIM's only Nasdaq stock, pressed up a 53.5p gain to a 325p peak. The shares were floated at 145p last summer by stockbroker Henderson Crosthwaite. The company has produced a system allowing price changes and stock information to be transmitted between a store's central computer and the shelf display.

r Cambridge Mineral Resources, up 0.5p to 10.5p, is said to be having an interesting time in Donegal where it is seeking gem stones. According to the Irish rumour mill it has found evidence of possible diamond and sapphire indicating deposits. The company, which also has exploration interests in Spain and Sweden, refused to comment. Its shares, now traded on Ofex, are due to move to AIM in the next few months.
