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.NSM, the heavily indebted coal miner, said its shares had been temporarily suspended yesterday pending details of the proposed sale of its Clee Hill plant hire subsidiary, other planned disposals and further information on its ongoing discussions with its banks.
NSM said it had now completed the disposal of Clee Hill Plant in a deal which would reduce its debts by about pounds 5m. It said a number of other "significant disposals" were in train.
The shares were suspended at 8p after NSM said it believed it was not possible to maintain an orderly market in the company's shares without full information on the disposals and the bank discussions, both of which were still progressing.
