"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."
"Thieves took less than eight minutes on Oct. 19 to steal jewels valued at 88 million euros ($102 million) from the world's most-visited museum. French officials described how the intruders used a basket lift to scale the Louvre's facade, forced open a window, opened a breach in display cases and fled. Two suspects were arrested on Sunday and are being questioned by police."
"Sen. Laurent Lafon, head of the Culture Committee at the Senate, said we all noticed that the security equipment is not suitable for a 21st-century museum such as the Louvre. It is our flagship, it must be exemplary, and today we cannot describe the security conditions at the Louvre as exemplary. Speaking to reporters after visiting the Louvre with fellow senators, Lafon said there are many improvements to be made. Our security system does not meet nowadays' standards."
The Independent covers issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech and stresses the need for on-the-ground journalists. Donations fund reporters and allow reporting and analysis to remain free of paywalls, with supporters covering costs to keep journalism accessible. A French Senate delegation inspected the Louvre and found museum security inadequate after thieves stole jewels worth 88 million euros in under eight minutes on Oct. 19. Officials said intruders used a basket lift, forced open a window, breached display cases and fled. Two suspects have been arrested and are under police questioning, and senators demanded major security improvements.
