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.In busy trading steel maker ASW put on 8.5p to 36p, highest since March, as stories flowed of a French bid. There was hopeful talk that Usinor Sacilor, sitting on 12 per cent, was planning to bid for this basket case of the steel industry, which lost pounds 51.7m last year and a further pounds 8.8m in the first half of this year.
Two years ago the shares were 247p.
Motion Media, the videophone maker, returned to the fringe Ofex market after a pounds 2.5m cash raising exercise at 200p. Surprisingly, the shares closed at only 180p, a 25p gain from the suspension price.
MM's videophones are due to be launched in some Dixons stores before Christmas and Philips will shortly start to sell them in Europe.
