"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."
"Drought conditions could persist into winter across the UK, despite forecasts for a wetter-than-average autumn and increasing flood risks, officials warn. The Met Office and Environment Agency say the current outlook for September, October, and November shows a higher likelihood for wetter and windier conditions compared to the 30-year average. However, they caution that the anticipated rainfall may not be sufficient to fully reverse the severe impact of this year's record-breaking dry and hot summer, which saw several regions declare drought status and implement hosepipe bans."
The Independent deploys reporters across issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, investigating financials and producing documentaries while avoiding paywalls and relying on donations to fund on-the-ground journalism. Donor support enables reporters to interview multiple perspectives and maintain free access to reporting and analysis. In the UK, officials warn that drought conditions could continue into winter even with a wetter-than-average autumn forecast, because anticipated rainfall may not fully reverse this summer's record dryness and heat. The Met Office and Environment Agency project wetter, windier months ahead, and the Flood Resilience Taskforce will meet to discuss preparations and recent progress on defences.
