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.

Somalia is the most corrupt country in the world, followed by Afghanistan, Burma and Iraq, an international watchdog has said.

The annual report of Transparency International found that Denmark, New Zealand and Singapore tied for first place as the world's least corrupt nations.

The watchdog group found that some countries, which were especially hard hit by the fallout of the global financial crisis, became more corrupt last year. Among those were Greece and Italy, but also the United States, which fell to 22nd place from 19th last year.
