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.

BRASILIA (Reuter) - The government hailed the decision by banks holding more than 95 per cent of the country's debt to take part in a dollars 44bn ( pounds 38bn) commercial debt accord.

'This is an important step because it represents support from creditor banks for Brazil's debt programme and the re-establishment of . . . relations with the international (financial) market,' said the Economy Minister, Eliseu Resende. More than 800 banks are to participate.
