Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

THERE WERE red faces at Deutsche Bank yesterday after a systems failure at its central computer forced it to withdraw from international interbank clearing for much of Wednesday. The failure is understood to have had a serious impact on liquidity in the market for euro payments.

The bank insisted that the fault, now corrected, was not Y2K-related. It said: "Deutsche Bank ... encountered a systems problem in its central production site in Eschborn, Germany. Meanwhile the systems problem was recovered. But Deutsche Bank was unable to participate in the international clearing of interbank payments [on Wednesday]."
