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.

"Martini, shaken not stirred…and make sure it's Belvedere, we have a very lucrative contract in place."

These are set to be Bond's amended famous words in Spectre, which has partnered with the high-end vodka brand.

The deal has been marked with the release of two custom made, limited edition bottles to celebrate Bond’s vodka martini, on which the Belvedere Palace logo is swapped for MI6 headquarters.

A global advertising campaign will be built around the partnership, which is a huge coup for Belvedere given the popularity of Skyfall and the huge anticipation for its sequel.

"James Bond is recognised as the most admired and influential tastemaker in the world. We’re delighted that Belvedere will be partnering with SPECTRE, our largest global partnership to date," President of Belvedere Vodka, Charles Gibb said.

Bond is no stranger to product placement, having previously swigged a Heineken and tapped away on a Sony Vaio.
