"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 former anaesthetist in France has been jailed for life after poisoning 30 patients, including 12 who died. Frederic Pechier was found guilty of contaminating infusion bags with substances that caused cardiac arrest or haemorrhaging, by a court in the city of Besancon. His youngest victims included a four-year-old child who survived after two cardiac arrests following routine tonsil surgery, while his oldest victim was aged 89."
