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 London Stock Exchange will renew attempts today to resolve its dispute with the Cambridge-based Electronic Share company (ESI). Last week the Stock Exchange reneged on a earlier agreement with ESI to provide real-time share price information for distribution via the Internet. It also issued legal proceedings against David Jones, the chief executive of ShareLink who is a partner in the ESI venture, for comments he made during a radio broadcast.
Sources say that the basis of an agreement between the two parties was drawn up by the Exchange late on Friday night. The new terms of the contract may involve ESI paying slightly more for the price information than had originally been set, but any agreement is likely to include the dropping of legal action against Mr Jones.
