The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigating issues such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC. The outlet emphasizes parsing facts from messaging, refuses paywalls and relies on donations to keep reporting accessible. A national emergency alert drill will send a test message to mobile phones across the UK on Sunday, September 7 at about 3pm. Phones on 4G and 5G will vibrate, emit a siren for up to ten seconds, and receive a message clarifying the alert is a drill. The system can target small areas and has issued real warnings during storms, flooding and for an unexploded WWII bomb.
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.
An emergency alert drill will send a test message to mobile phones across the UK next weekend. It will mark the second test of the national emergency alert system after the first in 2023. On Sunday, September 7 at around 3pm, mobile phones connected to 4G and 5G networks will vibrate and emit a siren sound for up to 10 seconds. Mobile phone users will also receive a message making clear that the alert is a drill.
