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.

Ahead of next week's ATP World Tour Finals in London, those taking part including Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic will etch their signatures onto a bottle of methuselah that is expected to raise up to £20,000 at auction.

The auction of the golden Moët & Chandon methuselah will take place at the Royal Courts of Justice on Saturday night in support of the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity. The world's top eight players, including Roger Federer and David Ferrer will be in attendance at the event.

Emelie De Vitis, Marketing Manager, Moët & Chandon UK said: "The Barclays ATP World Tour Finals Gala is the only night of the year when the world's top eight step out in black tie for one charity. As the official Champagne of the Finals, we're delighted to be able to support, and hope guests dig deep on the night to raise money for such a good cause."

The ATP World Tour Finals begin on Monday where Djokovic and Murray will be hoping to make amends after the pair made early exits from the Paris Masters this week.
