"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 security guard who was sacked after CCTV footage showed he spent hours lying barefoot on a sofa instead of doing patrols has lost a discrimination claim. On September 2, 2024, Mohammed Ouslimane was working a night shift as a relief security officer at Premier Foods premises when a manager reviewing security footage found he had been lying down on a sofa in the main reception area with his shoes and socks off, an employment tribunal heard."
"Timestamped stills of the security footage were sent to Mr Ouslimane's employer, Octoga Security Services, showing that he had not moved or put his socks and shoes back on for at least two hours between 3.30am and 5.30am, the tribunal further heard. Octoga contracts manager Anthony Brain told the Watford Employment Tribunal in a witness statement that he felt upset when he received the photographs of Mr Ouslimane."
The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, producing investigations and documentaries and maintaining paywall-free access funded by donations. Donations enable reporters to be sent to developing stories and to present multiple perspectives. The outlet emphasizes parsing facts from messaging and aims to be trusted across the political spectrum. Separately, a security guard, Mohammed Ouslimane, was filmed lying barefoot on a sofa during a night shift at Premier Foods premises; timestamped stills showed he remained inactive for at least two hours. Octoga Security Services dismissed him and a discrimination claim was dismissed by an employment tribunal.
