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.

Cable & Wireless appoints Hoare Govett

Cable & Wireless has appointed Hoare Govett as joint broker with Cazenove, fuelling speculation that the company expects a bid. Cable & Wireless was thrust into disarray last month by a vicious clash between Lord Young, chairman, and James Ross, chief executive, resulting in the departure of both men. One City analyst pointed out that Cazenove is also a broker to BT, which has been rumoured as a potential suitor for C&W. Shares in C&W, which said that it wanted the addition of a "more research oriented" house, rose by 5p to close at pounds 4.46.
