"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."
"Retired chief constable Craig Guildford has been referred to the police watchdog over the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv football fans from attending a match against Aston Villa last November. The 52-year-old announced his retirement from the force on Friday after home secretary Shabana Mahmood said she had lost confidence in the senior police boss after a damning watchdog review showed confirmation bias and a failure of leadership in West Midlands Police."
