"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 hero London bus driver was sacked after he chased down and knocked out a man who stole a passenger's necklace. On June 25 2024, Mark Hehir was driving the 206 bus, which runs between Wembley and Maida Vale in north-west London. A tribunal heard that a man boarded the bus, pushing past a female passenger, before snatching a necklace from around her neck and running off."
The Independent sends reporters to cover issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech and campaign finances, and maintains free access to reporting funded by donors. The organization highlights documentaries on American women fighting for reproductive rights and investigates entities such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC. A London bus driver, Mark Hehir, chased a man who snatched a passenger's necklace on June 25, 2024, returned the necklace, and was attacked. He hit the attacker once in self-defence, knocking him unconscious, then dragged and restrained him for almost half an hour. Both men were arrested; Hehir was later released without further police action.
