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.

Aminex, with oil and gas interests in the former Soviet Union, gained 2p to 76.5p. There is speculation it is on the verge of clinching a long rumoured deal in Tatarstan, 450 miles from Moscow, which could add a remarkable 3 billion barrels to its reserves. Russian shareholders have a big stake; so has the World Bank.

Farringford, backed by entrepreneur Trevor Hemmings, returned to market following the takeover of Lingfield Park racecourse. One deal went through at 18.5p. From today it will be called Arena Leisure.

Interesting times for Bruntcliffe Aggregates. Bodfari (Quarries), an unquoted Welsh group, has lifted its stake to 9.38 per cent; Aggregate Industries has 23 and could go to 27 per cent. Bruntcliffe fell 3p to 32.5p.
