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.

Greeks impound goods for Serbia

Athens - Greece confirmed it had impounded part of an oil rig allegedly bound from Iran to Serbia, in violation of UN sanctions. Foreign Ministry sources said that customs officials in Salonica were holding a disassembled oil drill that was in transit for Bulgaria. A sanctions-monitoring mission in Macedonia said local authorities had in the past week seized 12 truck loads of similar machinery. It was not clear if any parts of the shipment were still not accounted for. Macedonia's Foreign Ministry said the republic's authorities had stopped a shipment of Iranian oil rigs bound for Serbia in March and April. AP
