"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing.

Drone footage shows a UK town surrounded by floodwater. Britain faces Storm Claudia, which will deliver heavy rainfall, fast-flowing deep floodwater and gusty winds across large areas. Amber and yellow weather warnings cover multiple regions, with some locations expecting up to 150mm of rain. Claudia will intensify from Friday into Saturday, producing widely 60–80mm across amber-warning zones in the Midlands, south-east Wales and East Anglia. Ground is already saturated from above-average recent rainfall, increasing flood and travel disruption risk. Power cuts and 60–70mph gusts are likely in exposed parts of north-west England and north-west Wales.
