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.

rEnnex International, the gold miner with zinc/lead licences and cash in the bank, is thought to be involved in takeover negotiations. Talk in the industry is that it has had a number of approaches and a deal could be struck soon. The group's gold mining interests in Ireland have been held back by environmental protests. The shares held at 12p, up from 9p last month.

rBaldwin, the holidays and restaurants group, is attracting attention. The shares, at 171p, are at a year's high. The restaurant portfolio is thought to be making considerable headway and there is talk that it could sell its thriving holidays business. The company is thought to have had a number of bids for the holidays side; one quoted company is rumoured to be interested.
