"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. Your donation"
"The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) has issued a stark warning to those planning festive open water swims, urging participants to be acutely aware of the inherent risks as the new year approaches. The charity highlighted the dangers of cold water shock, particularly when combined with adverse weather conditions, for anyone entering water at 15C or below. Around the UK and Ireland, average sea temperatures during this period typically range from a chilling 6C to 10C. This cautionary advice follows the tragic disappearance of Matthew Upham,"
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech and solicits donations to fund free, accessible journalism. The RNLI warned that festive open water swims pose severe risks of cold-water shock, especially when sea temperatures are around 6–10°C and weather is adverse. The charity advised caution for anyone entering water at 15°C or below. A Christmas Day incident in Budleigh Salterton, Devon led to the disappearance of Matthew Upham, 63, and another man after they entered the water to assist a woman; several others were rescued and treated, and the two men were not located by police.
