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.

Leaders of China and Russia will hold a private meeting at the World Economic Forum today to explore common ground for tackling the global economic crisis.

"The premiers of Russia and China will discuss the economic situation in the world and ways to move out of the current situation," a source close to the Russian government said. "A wide range of questions will be discussed, both bilateral and international," the source said.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao is due in a Davos speech later today to explain how his country is tackling the economic crisis and ways to cooperate internationally to overcome the financial problems, Xinhua news agency reported.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will later address the roots of the crisis, next steps and modernising Russia's economy, his spokesman has said.
