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.LONDON'S West End is the world's second most expensive office market, second only to inner central Tokyo, according to a new survey from the property consultants CB Hillier Parker.
Rents in the West End are hovering around pounds 77 per sq foot and are so high - with further rental growth expected - because of an acute shortage of stock.
The City of London is ranked fourth behind outer Tokyo while Mumbai in Bombay comes in fifth, ahead of Hong Kong which is sixth. Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham are all in the top 15 of the 50 most expensive office markets around the globe.
