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.

LONG-TERM Capital Management,the hedge fund that was the subject of a $3.75bn bail-out in September, is planning to auction off around pounds 900m of five-year German government bonds on Monday.

The auction will take a similar form to the successful sell-off last month of the fund's holding of UK gilts. Bond market analysts said talk of the sale had a depressing effect on German bond futures yesterday. The German government has scheduled an action of pounds 3.5bn of five-year bonds for next Wednesday.
