"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."
"Waste crime teams across the UK are set to deploy drones equipped with advanced laser mapping technology to pinpoint illegal waste dumps from the air, the government has announced. This new aerial surveillance initiative aims to bolster efforts to track and prosecute environmental offenders. The Environment Agency (EA) confirmed the formation of a dedicated "drones squad," comprising 33 specially trained pilots."
The Independent solicits donations to fund reporters covering topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech. The organisation highlights investigations into financials, documentary production such as 'The A Word', and parsing facts from messaging. The outlet states a commitment to keep reporting and analysis accessible without paywalls, funded by those who can afford to support it. Waste crime teams across the UK will deploy drones with advanced laser mapping to locate illegal waste dumps and gather evidence. The Environment Agency formed a 33‑pilot drones squad and developed a screening tool to cross‑reference lorry licence applications against waste permit records. The Joint Unit for Waste Crime expanded its specialist team from 13 to 20 to work with law enforcement to dismantle organised crime networks. A 150m long mountain of illegally dumped rubbish is mentioned.
