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.A new public realm to rival Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden will be created in an overhaul of London's iconic Centre Point tower under £350m plans by the developer Almacantar.
The tower, finished in 1966, was Almacantar's first big deal a year ago when its chief executive, Mike Hussey, bought the Grade-II listed building from the administrator of the property group Targetfollow for £120m.
The proposals to revive the ageing landmark – labelled a "flawed icon" by Almacantar's development director, Kathrin Hersel – will see the traffic accident blackspot at the base of the building turned into a pedestrian zone.
