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.Plans for an £8bn redevelopment of Battersea power station were unveiled last night as a precursor for a series of trade deals that the Government hopes will be clinched during the Olympics.
The Malaysian owner of the iconic building said it would create 20,000 construction jobs and 13,000 full-time posts when it converts the Thames-side building into a complex of shops, offices and homes and a hotel. The listed structure, which is actually two power plants built between 1929 and 1955, has been semi-derelict since it stopped generating in 1983. Work on the redevelopment, which will also encompass an extension of the Tube's Northern Line and the construction of two stations, is set to begin next summer.
