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.

BAA to seeks funds for expansion

Sir John Egan, chief executive of BAA, operator of seven UK airports including Heathrow and Gatwick, yesterday gave his strongest indication yet that the group will soon ask shareholders for more cash. Sir John said there would be no rights issue to fund growth of BAA's core business, but said new equity would be raised to fund good deals abroad. BAA, which expects to sign a deal to take over management control of Indianapolis airport next month, yesterday announced a 14 per cent increase in pre- tax profits to pounds 366m.
