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.

GERMAN shares rose in light trade as gains by telecoms stocks helped spur a market unruffled by Russian President Boris Yeltsin's sacking of Prime Minister Sergei Stepashin. The DAX-30 closed up 1.53 per cent at 5,087.30 points, off highs near 5,100, as Wall Street made a slow start.

Traders said Frankfurt's rebound from a month-long down trend would probably not extend far as investors stayed nervous about possible interest-rate rises in the US and Europe.
