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.The landlord of Canary Wharf ushered in a new phase in the evolution of its sprawling estate today with a land deal which could eventually bring another 20,000 workers to London's Docklands.
Canary Wharf Group has taken full control of the Wood Wharf site next to the main Docklands estate after buying out fellow shareholder British Waterways and developer Ballymore for £90.4m. CWG's purchase of the semi-derelict, 4.8 million sq ft site increases the size of its estate by almost a third. The masterplan for Wood Wharf – designed by Richard Rogers and featuring six apartment blocks, three office buildings and an ecology park – was approved in 2009. The developer is likely to push forward with the flats first.
