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.

OLYMPIA & York, the embattled Canadian property company and developer of the huge Canary Wharf project in London's Docklands, has won approval from creditors for its debt restructuring plan.

'I'm happy we've passed this milestone,' said David Brown, a lawyer representing O&Y.

On 14 May last year, O&Y and 28 Canadian subsidiaries filed for protection from creditors. In the US, O&Y and four Canadian subsidiaries filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, although the group's US division has so far managed to avoid a Chapter 11 filing.

Two weeks later, O&Y lost its Canary Wharf development, which was placed in the hands of British court administrators.

O&Y's worldwide debt totals around Cdollars 13.7bn ( pounds 7.8bn).
