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.

Hamburg chairman Bernd Hoffmann has revealed that he has received no bids for Ivory Coast international Guy Demel.

The 28-year-old defender hinted last week that he could be heading to Sunderland this month, but Hoffmann doubts that will be the case.

The Black Cats, who suffered a humiliating 7-2 defeat at Chelsea on Saturday, have a wealth of defensive injury problems with Nyron Nosworthy (knee), John Mensah (calf) and Anton Ferdinand (ankle) all currently injured.

However, Hoffmann said: "It has been in the news that there is a club from England interested in the services of Guy Demel.

"There has, however, not been any bid for him. Looking at the current facts, Guy Demel is still part of our Bundesliga squad."
