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.IN A bad week for the market, shares in Rolls-Royce, the aerospace engineering company, were hit hard, falling nearly 9 per cent. "The decline may be related to more cautious noises coming out of European airlines," said Sandy Morris, an ABN Amro analyst. He has a "buy" rating on the stock.
British Airways and others are limiting capacity and concentrating on more profitable business-class seats because weak demand and fare wars are hurting earnings. Boeing and Airbus are also being hurt by price wars in the sales of planes.
Rolls-Royce's decline last week follows a rise to 299.75p on 18 June, after the Paris Air Show, where Rolls-Royce announced several new orders for aircraft engines.
