The FT carries a story that the Russian billionaire owner of the London Evening Standard is in advanced talks to buy the The Independent and The Independent on Sunday.
According to the report
Alexander Lebedev has held intermittent talks over the past year with publisher Independent News & Media to buy its UK national newspapers. However, plans were put on hold over the summer as INM started wrangling with its lenders about the restructuring of its €1.3bn (£1.2bn, $1.9bn) debt pile.
