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.

The student accommodation group Unite said full-year recurring profit would likely beat expectations, and it was well placed to outperform the wider sector in Britain, helped by its focus on London.

Unite said it had seen strong sales in its 2011/12 year to date, with 99 per cent of rooms sold, against 97 per cent a year ago. Year-on-year growthin net operating income was expected to be about 3.1 per cent, with strong rental growth of 4 per cent partially offset by higher operating costs, Unite said.
