Top-secret Weisz wedding for Bond star Craig

NEW YORK: James Bond actor Daniel Craig and Oscar-winning fellow-Brit Rachel Weisz have married after a whirlwind six-month romance, her spokesman said.

Craig, 43, and Weisz, 41, tied the knot Wednesday in an ultra-secret New York ceremony. Reports said only four guests were in attendance, two family friends acting as witnesses, Craig’s teenage daughter and Weisz’s young son.

Weisz’s publicist Megan Moss confirmed to AFP that the couple had tied the knot.

The pair team up in the forthcoming “Dream House”, playing a married couple who relocate to a quaint New England town only to discover that their idyllic new home has been the scene of horrific murders.

Craig and Weisz have reportedly been friends for years but began a largely hush-hush romance on the set of the film, which is to hit cinemas in September.

Craig, star of Bond flicks, “Layer Cake,” “Munich” and later this year “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” has a daughter from his previous marriage to Scottish actress Fiona Loudon.

He was engaged to long-term film producer girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell for five years before they split in 2010.

Weisz, who won a supporting actress Academy Award for her performance in the 2005 drama “The Constant Gardener,” has a son from her nine-year relationship with “Black Swan” director Darren Aronofsky.

Their relationship also ended last year.

Craig has had two outings as MI6 agent 007, “Casino Royale” (2006) and the “Quantum of Solace” (2008). He is due to reprise the role in a 23rd Bond instalment, which is being directed by another Brit, Sam Mendes, and is due out in November 2012.

Copenhagen Climate latest updates

Copenhagen Climate, Police were on alert in Copenhagen on Wednesday morning as protesters gathered for a mass demonstration. The protesters say they plan to move into the conference area where world leaders are meeting, disrupt the sessions and hold a ‘people’s summit’.

The protest comes after more than a week of talks at the UN Climate Conference, in which world leaders have so far failed to reach a consensus on how to tackle global warming. The world leaders have until a main summit on Friday to agree a deal under a deadline set at a meeting in Bali, Indonesia, in 2007. Negotiations since Bali have been marred by mistrust between rich and poor nations.
As the deadline approaches for a pact that would favour a shift to low-carbon businesses, some politicians are warning of the risks of failure in the 193-nation negotiations, even as they urge compromises to allow a breakthrough.

Protesters gathering on Wednesday morning said they felt their demands for action were not being listened to. The climate conference has been the scene of several protests and demonstrations since it started on December 7. People from all over the world have descended on the Danish capital to urge their governments to come up with a binding climate agreement.
Various lobby groups have been stationed outside the Bella Centre, where the conference is taking place, since the start, while inside, a few smaller protests take place each day.
