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.

Fabio Barbosa is to step down from his role as chief financial officer of FTSE 100-listed oil and gas producer BG Group. He has been on leave since September and returned to his native Brazil for treatment of an undisclosed medical condition.

He will now take up the role of chairman of BG South America, in which capacity he will "provide senior counsel to the company's teams in Bolivia, Chile, Uruguay, and Brazil", the company said.

BG's shares were little changed, ticking up by4.5p to 1,142p. They are down about a fifth since October after the first of several warnings on production levels.
