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 BENCHMARK Nikkei index closed higher for the first time in five session, as a recovery in the bond market boosted sentiment in equities. The Nikkei closed up 94.41 points - or 0.68 per cent - at 13,992.49.

March futures added 220 points to close at 14,010.

Yasuo Ueki, general manager at Nikko Securities Co, said: "The surge in bond prices relieved the market after their tumble kept pulling down the Nikkei average last week."
