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.

SHARES CLOSED slightly lower, pressured by modest profit-taking following an 11 per cent rally over the past eight days.

The Nikkei 225 closed down 13.28 points at 15,488.86, well clear of the high of 15,709.01 prompted by buying ahead of the close of trading in the March futures and overnight gains on Wall Street. The low was 15,408.38 points. Nissan Motor led declines by car-makers after DaimlerChrysler rejected an alliance earlier this week, while Sony headed the gainers.
