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.

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.STOCKS ROSE moderately on hopes that the government's economic package will be followed by more stimulus measures. The benchmark Nikkei 225 climbed 160.06 points, or 1.12 per cent, closing at 14,428.27.
The markets were disappointed that the package contained little more than was already expected. The Nikkei eased back slightly after the announcement. But traders said investors were hesitant to sell stocks because the government might yet unveil further measures to bolster the economy.
