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.Bundesliga 2 side 1860 Munich have released a special kit to commemorate city's famous Oktoberfest.
The 16-day festival begins this Saturday and will attract more than six million people from around the world to Munich.
1860 Munich, currently floundering in the second division while rivals Bayern boast one of the best teams in Europe, have released a special Lederhosen-inspired kit for their game against Inglostadt.
The kit features blue-check top, in keeping with the club's traditional colours, and brown shorts - though they are not leather like the real thing.
Oktoberfest has been held in Bavaria since 1810, while Lederhosen (meaning leather trousers) is a traditional outfit.
