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.

Tata Steel has warned that rising raw material costs could hurt margins for a couple of quarters after posting its highest annual net profit, bolstered by a surge in prices and demand in India, Asia's third largest economy.

The India-based steel maker, which announced 1,500 job cuts at its UK operations last week, said tepid demand in Europe was a cause for concern, although it was seeing some positive turnaround signs.

Tata Steel said its underlying earnings for the year to March came in at 89.8bn rupees (£1.2bn), compared with a net loss of 20.1bn rupees a year ago.
