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.Daiwa Europe, the subsidiary of the Japanese securities house, has confirmed that it is laying off over 40 people in an attempt to bring costs back into line with the difficult conditions prevailing in financial markets, writes John Eisenhammer.
The reduction of staff levels by about 10 per cent is the latest in a bout of retrenchment and sacking sweeping the City, as British and international investment houses seek to pare back radically after massive over-expansion in the rampaging bull markets of 1993.
"Daiwa Europe has conducted a thorough review of its operations throughout Europe which has resulted in restructuring within the business and support areas," the company said in statement yesterday.
The restructuring will focus on the core businesses of fixed income and equity markets to improve distribution capability.
