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 major fire south of the Greek capital is raging for the second day, with gale-force winds hampering firefighting efforts.
More than 150 firefighters and soldiers using more than 60 vehicles were battling the blaze south of Athens, along with two water-dropping planes and a helicopter.
Greece has also asked Italy, France and Croatia for help in the form of more firefighting planes.
Three firefighters were injured. Four people have been arrested for accidentally causing the blaze during welding work at a construction site.
By last night, the fire was raging on a 7.5-mile front to the west and south of the town of Keratea, 30 miles south of Athens.
The blazes were being fought as Greeks voted in a national election that could determine whether their indebted nation stays in the euro.
