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.

YET another top executive has quit at Warburg Dillon Read, the investment bank formed by the merger of UBS and SBC, the two Swiss banks.

Renaud de Planta, who had been appointed head of equity derivatives at Warburg Dillon Read, is to join Pictet, a Swiss private bank, as a managing partner. Mr de Planta had been with UBS for 12 years.

Mr de Planta's resignation is the latest in a series of top defections at Warburg Dillon Read, where several key managers are understood to be disaffected with the merger process.

Separately, Credit Suisse First Boston said it had appointed Keith Martin, formerly head of UK equity trading at UBS, as co-head of UK equity trading.
