BBC happy to put their shots in the sand
Your support helps us to tell the story
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. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Gary Player stood in the notorious Road Hole bunker and prodded about with his sand iron. The South African was bemused by the presence of BBC engineers, who were putting the finishing touches to their latest toy, a miniature camera buried in the face of the bunker.
The pounds 5,000 remote-controlled camera measures four inches by one and a half inches and the BBC hope it will provide spectacular bunker shots. The cable for the camera, the lens of which can move around like a sand crab to cover every angle, was laid underground five months ago.
