Police called as Christmas swimmers ignore weather warnings
"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. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Emergency services were scrambled to a Devon beach on Christmas Day after concerns were raised for individuals in the water. Police confirmed they were called to Budleigh Salterton at 10am. A number of people have since been safely brought ashore and are awaiting assessment by paramedics, Devon and Cornwall Police said. A spokesperson added: Coastguard and RNLI crews are continuing search efforts in the water."
