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.

The president of BOC Gases Americas and chairman and chief executive of BOC Process Plants and Cryostar, Seifi Ghasemi, has quit, industrial gases group, BOC said yesterday. In a statement, Mr Ghasemi said he was leaving because he wanted the chance to run a company in his own right.

"Since joining the BOC Group in 1979, I have steadily moved up the organisation and achieved most of my career objectives. I am, however, of similar age to Danny Rosenkranz, BOC's chief executive, and therefore cannot see an opportunity to move forward and run a company in my own right." BOC said it expected to announce Mr Ghasemi's replacement and "other consequent organisational changes in the near future."
