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.

A new global survey exposes Greece as the EU's most corrupt country. The Corruption Perceptions Index – which rates public sector corruption on a scale of one to 100 – is an annual report conducted by the anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International.

Greece ranks as the 94th most corrupt of the 176 states surveyed. Italy also fared poorly, ranking 72nd, behind EU newcomer Romania at 66th. The UK was rated the 17th least-corrupt country.
