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.

International Energy made a half-year pre-tax profit of pounds 5.177m against pounds 3.843m last time and announced a placing and one -for-four open offer to raise pounds 12.38m. The company grew its earnings per share to 7.68p from 5.61p and its dividend to 1.20p from 1.16p. The company said it will spend the pounds 12m on developing its UK natural gas business. Credit Lyonnais Laing, as agent for the company, has conditionally agreed to place 50 per cent of the new ordinary shares with institutional and other investors subject to the rights of qualifying shareholders to apply for new ordinary

shares under the open offer. The company said trading for the current year is in line with the board's expectations.
