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 Australian retail developer Westfield is in advanced talks to sell a huge stake in its shopping centre next to the 2012 Olympics site in Stratford, east London.

Westfield is believed to be close to selling shares worth £750m to Henderson Global Investors, the fund manager. Henderson plans to create a fund that would be open clients to invest in.

The world's biggest property developer will spend £1.45bn building Westfield Stratford, which will open in the second half of 2011 and will house 300 retailers and a Vue cinema.
