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.THE JAPANESE stock market closed higher after wallowing in negative territory for most of the day, as the market drew some comfort from the yen's late fall against the dollar. The benchmark Nikkei 225 average rose by 144.23 points or 0.81 per cent to 17,969.93.
The dollar rallied past 115.30 yen after Japan's Finance Minister, Kiichi Miyazawa, said he had talked with the US Treasury Secretary, Lawrence Summers, and agreed to keep in close contact on foreign exchange rates.
