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.rYorkshire Food, which stumbled into a pounds 4m half-year loss, is attracting the attention of Dole, the US food group. The Americans have upped their stake to 6.86 per cent, buying 1.8 million shares. Despite its name, Yorkshire's ambitions are directed mainly at the US and Dole is one of its competitors in the dried fruit and nuts market. It hopes eventually to get a New York share listing. In London its shares firmed to 48.5p.
rBudgens, the food retailer, has the support of stockbroker Williams de Broe. Analyst Bill Myers believes the shares, at 42p, do not recognise the chain's recovery and the 29.4 per cent stake held by Rewe of Germany. By converting bonds Rewe could go to 45 per cent. Profits of pounds 9.3m are expected this year and pounds 10.8m next.
