"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."
"A coroner has warned more babies could die without guidance on the role of unregulated birthing assistants, after the death of a 15-day-old baby raised concerns about delayed access to hospital treatment. Matilda Pomfret-Thomas died of a brain injury in November 2023, caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain either before or during birth, known as neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Her mother had a difficult home labour and was not immediately transferred to hospital despite signs of foetal distress, an inquest concluded last month."
