The Independent covers reproductive rights and climate change, investigating Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing the documentary 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet provides free access without paywalls and seeks donations to fund reporters. The Refugee Council proposes a time-limited one-off scheme to grant temporary permission to people from certain countries, aiming to end use of hotels to house asylum seekers by March 2026. The council warns the government's pledge to close hotels by 2029 is unsustainable, costly and risks fuelling community division. Epping Forest District Council obtained a High Court injunction stopping asylum placements at the Bell Hotel after protests, and Somani Hotels and the Home Office plan to appeal.
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 allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Refugee Council has suggested that this would be done by allowing people from certain countries likely to be recognised as refugees temporary permission to stay under a one-off scheme, analysis by the Refugee Council has suggested. The refugee charity has set out a time-limited proposal that ministers could take to end the use of hotels to house asylum seekers by March 2026.
Epping Forest District Council was granted a temporary injunction by the High Court last week, stopping asylum seekers from being housed in the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, following weeks of protests. More councils are now considering legal action to close asylum hotels in their areas, while the hotel owner Somani Hotels and the Home Office are seeking to challenge the decision at the Court of Appeal on Thursday.
