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.

The mother of Harry Styles has demanded One Direction fans stop throwing objects at her son and his band mates after video footage emerged of Styles being hit in the face by a can.

In footage posted on Twitter, what appears to be a can of Red Bull is thrown by a fan and clearly hits Styles in the head. He is seen clutching his face and stumbles for a few seconds, while other worried fans shout “what are you doing?" at the person who threw the object.

The incident occurred during the band's performance in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening.

Styles has not commented in the incident, but his mother Anne Twist reacted angrily in Twitter, condemning the incident as “dangerous”, although she said no harm had been done.

The Independent has contacted a representative for Styles for comment.
