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.

OMG, a company that makes motion capture technology used by Hollywood movie makers and computer games developers, posted blockbuster revenues after its cameras were used in films including Clash of the Titans and games such as the best- selling Hard Rain.

The AIM-listed company posted its highest half-year revenues of £14.4m, up over 9 per cent on constant currency.

Nick Bolton, chief executive, hailed the record results for the Oxford-based business "despite the recent challenging economic environment".

As well as motion capture of actors for film, its standout Vicon business provides technology used by sportsmen for video games and team analysis as well as to help children with cerebral palsy and rehab patients.

2d3 is the company's aerial imaging and defence business, while Yotta focuses on highways and property surveying.
