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.ONE OF Eve Group's biggest lines of business came into its own yesterday when the company's crowd control barriers helped contain a big demonstration in the City of London.
The group plans and erects barriers and walkways for every public event from Glastonbury to Wimbledon. Today its services will be used to support the crowd control efforts during the Royal Wedding.
Yesterday Eve announced profits up 25 per cent to pounds 3.78m, more than half of which came from its barriers and walkways, euphemistically known as "access systems".
Alan Robertson, chief executive, said demand for its services was increasing. The company's earnings will grow as public celebrations of the millennium reach a crescendo.
However, earnings in the year to March disappointed the City. Shares in Eve, which also provides services to the telecoms, power and leisure industries, fell from 322.5p to 285p.
