world's largest

The Global Corruption Barometer 2013 is a survey of 1,14,000 people in 107 countries and it shows corruption is widespread. 27 per cent of respondents have paid a bribe when accessing public services and institutions in the last 12 months, revealing no improvement from previous surveys.

Pope Francis has been named 'Man of the year' by Vanity Fair, a weekly magazine, in Italy.

Newsmax reports that the magazine printed a picture of the 76-year-old Pope on its front page in his simple white robes. The magazine said his words and actions were ‘heavier than boulders’.

Vanity Fair Italy said that the first 100 days of his pontificate have already propelled him to the top of the list of world leaders who are making history.

When I edit an existing training resource, it creates weird characters (I think mostly for ' apostrophes within the content). Here is the tutorial I am having these issues with, but it may be affecting all training in the same way.

Top countries where respondents paid a bribe:

Sierra Leone 84%

Liberia 75%

Yemen 74%

Kenya 70%

However, nearly 9 out of 10 people surveyed said they would act against corruption and two-thirds of those who were asked to pay a bribe had refused, suggesting that government, civil society and the business sector need to do more to engage people in thwarting corruption.

The Global Corruption Barometer 2013 also found that in too many countries the institutions people rely on to fight corruption and other crime are themselves not trusted. 36 countries view police as the most corrupt, and in those countries an average of 53 per cent of people had been asked to pay a bribe to the police. 20 countries view the judiciary as the most corrupt, and in those countries an average of 30 per cent of the people who had come in contact with the judicial systems had been asked to pay a bribe.

The Global Corruption Barometer 2013 shows a crisis of trust in politics and real concern about the capacity of those institutions responsible for bringing criminals to justice. In 51 countries around the world political parties are seen as the most corrupt institution. 55 per cent of respondents think government is run by special interests.
