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.

RJB upbeat on generator deals

RJB MINING, Britain's biggest coal producer, yesterday said it was confident of signing new long-term supply deals with the electricity generators and dismissed reports that it was poised to axe up to 1,000 jobs and three pits. Richard Budge, chief executive, said RJB had "a viable business plan for all its collieries". First half pre-tax profits fell by a half to pounds 44.7m and the dividend was cut from 10p to 3p.
