A final draft agreement on tackling global climate change has been | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
presented to delegates after two weeks of talks at a UN | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
The proposed deal includes a target to keep global temperature rises | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
to well below the two degrees Celsius mark. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Further negotiations will take place this afternoon. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
Live to Paris in a moment, but first Daniel Boettcher reports. | :00:39. | :00:50. | |
Exhausted delegates applaud as the French Foreign Minister who has | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
presided over the talks arrives with Francois Hollande and Ban Ki-Moon. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
Everyone in the conference hall knows what is at stake. They have | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
been negotiating for two weeks and talks again went on late into the | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
night. Officials and ministers from almost 200 countries trying to come | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
up with a global deal to tackle climate change. Negotiators were | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
told if the final draft was adopted it would be a hisseric turning | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
point. TRANSLATION: It is my deep | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
conviction that we have come up with an ambitious and balanced agreement | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
which reflects the position of the parties. This will be distributed to | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
you in a few moments. Outlining some of the key | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
principles, he said it would include a limit temperatures to below two | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Celsius. It was well received by countries that fought hard for the | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
goal which has been one of the key sticking points in the talks. At the | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
start of the conference, world leaders pledged their support for | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
the process. Their negotiating teams had to look for ways of shaping a | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
deal that can be accepted by all, but that also matches their own | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
national priorities. One of the most difficult issues has | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
been how responsibility should be shared between developed nations and | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
the bigger emerging countries like India and China whose carbon | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
emissions have gone up sharply as their economies have grownment then | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
money. Who should pay, how much, to help developing countries adapt | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
toically mate change and get clean technology and there have been deep | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
divisions over how ambitious a deal should be, what long-term targets | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
should be set and how to reach them? As he urged del gots to adopt the | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
text, Ban Ki-Moon said the whole world was watching. The issues are | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
many and complex. But we must now let the quest for perfection to | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
become the enemy of the public good. Today, I ask you, I tell you to | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
continue in the same good spirit of compromise that has characterised | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
the discussions over the past two weeks. | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
Everyone at the table has had to make compromises as negotiators | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
looked for common ground. For the text to become a deal, all countries | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
will now have to agree to it. Live to Paris and our | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
correspondent Rebecca Morelle. Rebecca, clearly there is a lot more | :03:18. | :03:26. | |
work to be done. Where are we now? Hopefully this is the last few | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
critical few hours after a marathon two weeks of negotiations. They are | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
looking for a deal that's firm, balanced and ambitious, but | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
realistic, but we haven't had the document through yet. That's coming | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
in the next half an hour and the devil will be in the detail. The | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
deal isn't going to be perfect for every single country. But will it be | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
good enough? At any point this deal could be off the table. Everyone has | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
to reach a consensus on this, 195 countries plus the EU so we are | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
going to have to wait and see if it is passed through later on. Rebecca, | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
thank you very much. Women are voting in elections | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
in Saudi Arabia for the first time. Women are also standing | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
as candidates in another first despite Saudi Arabia being the only | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
country where women are not But restrictions have been | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
imposed on campaigning. Female candidates have not | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
been allowed to talk It's a week since floods brought | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
devastation to Cumbria. River levels in the country remain | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
high and more wet weather But communities are once more | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
showing their resilience. Olivia Richwald is in Cockermouth | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
where the town's Christmas festival Well, this is main street in | :04:35. | :04:46. | |
Cockermouth and seven days ago there was a different scene here. Where | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
I'm standing was thigh deep in floodwater. And dozens of businesses | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
flooded and hundreds of homes, but the word they are using is | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
resilience. After the 2009 floods, they launched the taste of Cumbria | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
food festival. So there was no way they were going to cancel this | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
weekend's Christmas fair. Instead, they doubled it in size. Inviting | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
businesses from across Cumbria, that have had been flooded to the town | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
today to hold their stalls. As you can see, it has been really well | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
supported. People have come from across the north to be here. There | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
is a jovial atmosphere, but it doesn't mean the clean-up is over | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
and the misery is over. The clean-up continues and it will go on for at | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
least six months. Olivia, thank you very much. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
The Euro 2016 draw takes place this afternoon. | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
will all find out who they'll face in next year's competition. | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
Richard, some bullish words from the Chairman | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
Yes, that's right. I caught up with Greg Dyke last night ahead of the | :05:40. | :05:51. | |
Euro 2016 draw. A confident assessment from him. He believes | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
England could surprise a few people next summer. | :05:55. | :05:55. | |
I'm looking forward to the draw, but I'm looking forward | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
to the tournament even more because we're going to win. | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
Not everyone will agree with that assessment. Wales appearing in their | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
first major championships since 1958 and Northern Ireland appearing in | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
their first ever European Championships. Security is tight. | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
There are helicopters overhead, but it gets underway when everyone will | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
find out who the 24 teams are playing and where they will be | :06:26. | :06:26. | |
based. Richard, thank you very much. You can see more on all of today's | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
stories on the BBC News Channel. The next news on BBC | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
One is at 5.45pm. Good afternoon. Thankfully nothing | :06:35. | :06:51. | |
like the downpours of last week, but the weather is capable of causing a | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
few problems and raising a few eyebrows. A beautiful scene in | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
Northern Ireland this morning with the snow here, but there is more | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
rain as well as snow to come through the rest of Saturday. This mass of | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
cloud has moved its way across the UK, making for a grey and many soggy | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
Saturday, particularly wet over Wales, the Midlands and Northern | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
England and Southern Scotland. Yes, that is snow there. Chiefly over the | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
hills for the rest of today, but it could cause some problems. For sun | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
sheurpb well Northern Scotland not a bad bet, a few showers drifting in | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
here, however it is cold. Brightening up now across south-west | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
Scotland and brighter and drier in Northern Ireland, but it is still | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
chilly. Cold, wet, grey, not pleasant across Northern England and | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
North Wales for the rest of today. Yes, there will be more snow on the | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
higher routes as the rain starts to build up across North Wales, that | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
could cause some problems too. Further south, it is about the | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
temperatures. Another mild and blustery day. It stays breezy in the | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
south overnight as the rain clears from northern England and Southern | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
Scotland and the Midlands. It might turn icy, but no hint of any ice as | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
the rain band lingers across the south. Temperatures really mild in | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
the south-west. We stay in double figures. Further north, look at the | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
contrast, a widespread hard frost across Northern England and | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
Scotland. Well below freezing here and there could be freezing fog | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
patches too. Once they have cleared away, much of | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
Scotland and Northern England dry and bright. | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
The mild air continues across the south. Temperatures 11 or 12 Celsius | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
in the south-west. The rain band could produce a little bit of snow | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
tomorrow night as it pushes northwards and hits the cold air | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
across parts of Scotland. Bear that in mind as we head into Monday | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
morning. Once that's out of the way, we're back to mild weather for | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
pretty much all of us next week. It will be | :08:42. | :08:42. |
