"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."
"In July, the French government said it intended to revise its maritime laws to allow for vessel interceptions, but the proposal was postponed over fears that it might endanger lives. It has now come to light, however, that since the spring several French law-enforcement officers have been issued arresting nets which, according to a source familiar with the development, can be deployed both in efforts to curb illegal immigration and in operations targeting drug trafficking."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigating issues from Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC finances to documentaries about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The publication prioritizes on-the-ground reporting and declines to use paywalls, relying on donations to fund journalists and to present both sides of stories. The government has been accused of fuelling an arms race of dangerous interceptions in the Channel after revelations that French police will use large nets to stop small boat crossings despite warnings they could put lives at risk. France faces UK pressure to reduce crossings, and plans to revise maritime laws were postponed amid safety fears. Since spring, several French officers have been issued arresting nets that can be used against illegal immigration and drug trafficking, prompting condemnation from MPs and human-rights groups.
