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.Stefan Schwarz, Arsenal's Swedish international midfielder, said yesterday that he no longer wished to play for Arsenal, nor did he want to be in Sweden's squad for next month's Umbro Cup, which also involves England, Brazil and Japan.
Schwarz is quoted in the Swedish newspaper Sydsvenska Dagbladet as saying: "I do not wish to play in a tournament that has no meaning, I hope that Tommy Svensson [the Swedish coach] will understand."
He also said that he and his wife were not enjoying England: "I've played all season without being happy but I have tried all the time. I would not like to stay another season - football-wise it just does not suit me."
