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.

TOKYO STOCKS rose widely on Monday, led by major high-technology stocks, as investor confidence was boosted by Wall Street's strong performance last week. The Nikkei average finished up 139.06 points - 0.76 per cent - at 18,507.20.

The yen's brief dip against the US dollar in reaction to weaker-than- expected Japanese economic growth data for the July-September quarter, announced just before the market opened, also spurred buying of high-techs.
