:00:23. > :00:28.A final draft agreement on tackling global climate change has been
:00:29. > :00:30.presented to delegates, after two weeks of talks
:00:31. > :00:35.The proposed deal includes a target to limit global temperature rises
:00:36. > :00:43.The French Foreign Minister said the pact could represent a 'historic
:00:44. > :00:46.turning point' - but a deal isn't yet completely sealed.
:00:47. > :00:54.Our Science Editor David Shukman is in Paris.
:00:55. > :01:02.I join you at a really critical moment in a marathon process towards
:01:03. > :01:05.what's meant to be the landing of an enormously important agreement. The
:01:06. > :01:09.first the world has ever seen where every country around the globe is
:01:10. > :01:14.taking part in some way in the effort to tackle climate change.
:01:15. > :01:18.Delegates have gathered for what may be the last final session in this
:01:19. > :01:22.process, we're still waiting to see the outcome of this. It's been a
:01:23. > :01:25.long and difficult day, as I've been finding out.
:01:26. > :01:28.Years of talks and haggling that's gone on for three nights running
:01:29. > :01:30.have led delegates up to this crucial moment.
:01:31. > :01:33.And the man chairing the conference, the French Foreign Minister,
:01:34. > :01:40.TRANSLATION: In this room you are going to be deciding
:01:41. > :01:55.But many of those cheering are the very people who have been
:01:56. > :02:02.Then came the French President Francois Hollande.
:02:03. > :02:04.He reminded everyone of what Paris has just been
:02:05. > :02:10.through with the terror attacks a month ago.
:02:11. > :02:12.Ladies and gentlemen, France asks you, France calls
:02:13. > :02:19.on you to adopt the first universal agreement on climate.
:02:20. > :02:24.The first such agreement in our history.
:02:25. > :02:36.This is all about trying to slow the rise in global temperatures,
:02:37. > :02:38.to set a tough target to limit warming has been agreed.
:02:39. > :02:41.A harder question is who should help the poorest countries cope
:02:42. > :02:48.There's a promise of $100 billion a year for them. We will need to see
:02:49. > :02:52.much more money on the table for poor people, we will have to see
:02:53. > :02:57.much better plans to help them. And we have to be prepared for more
:02:58. > :03:02.disaster relief because that is what's coming our way with climate
:03:03. > :03:05.change impacts. At the root of it all, the greenhouse gases blamed for
:03:06. > :03:10.rising temperatures. A new system will review the pledges countries
:03:11. > :03:15.have made to their emissions. The bargaining over this agreement has
:03:16. > :03:17.been far more cooperative than in previous negotiations I've
:03:18. > :03:21.witnessed. Inevitably not everyone is getting what they want out of it
:03:22. > :03:26.but the key thing is whether it does mark a shift to a clearer, low
:03:27. > :03:32.carbon world. Ultimately what matters is the signal this event
:03:33. > :03:37.sends to investors and businesses. Will the big financial funds now
:03:38. > :03:40.pull out of coal? It's the mainstay of power generation in major
:03:41. > :03:46.economies but also the dirtiest fuel. Will the giant car-makers now
:03:47. > :03:50.make a far bigger push to go electric? Will the drive for
:03:51. > :03:54.renewable energy see a real leap in the scale? A lot depends on exactly
:03:55. > :03:59.what is agreed here and whether it's then delivered.
:04:00. > :04:07.What point are they at? Is there are still talking at the moment? Yes,
:04:08. > :04:10.there's a last-minute flurry of puddles and a rumour that the
:04:11. > :04:15.Americans have a problem with a single word, it's the kind of thing
:04:16. > :04:19.that can hold things up because the UN operates by consensus, everybody
:04:20. > :04:23.has to sign up for this. The French have to decide whether to put it to
:04:24. > :04:28.a vote or open up the floor to statements from countries that may
:04:29. > :04:34.have different objections. We're a critical stage and no one is quite
:04:35. > :04:39.sure how it'll pan out. Do you feel it does have the potential to be
:04:40. > :04:46.historic? Because he was using pretty strong words? The word
:04:47. > :04:50.historic is used a great deal and, certainly, if the document is
:04:51. > :04:55.agreed, as the French would like it to be, it would significantly change
:04:56. > :04:58.the course of the global economy. If all the countries that have signed
:04:59. > :05:03.up to it actually do what they promise. It's full of holes, critics
:05:04. > :05:06.say the key motives have been stripped out to make it less
:05:07. > :05:13.meaningful, but it's quite a powerful statement. From 195 global
:05:14. > :05:17.governments, sending out a message, that they do want, in the coming
:05:18. > :05:21.decades, to see a shift away from the dominance of fossil fuels. It
:05:22. > :05:26.remains to be seen exactly how that gets agreed. We will wait and see.
:05:27. > :05:29.The polls have closed in Saudi Arabia - where women have
:05:30. > :05:31.been allowed to vote for the first time.
:05:32. > :05:35.in another first - although restrictions were imposed
:05:36. > :05:37.on campaigning because they weren't allowed to talk to male
:05:38. > :05:48.More than 30 bodies have been discovered on the streets
:05:49. > :05:50.of the capital of Burundi, Bujumbura.
:05:51. > :05:53.The bodies were found a day after attacks on a number
:05:54. > :05:56.of military sites in which 87 people died.
:05:57. > :06:00.Unrest has blighted the east African country since an attempted coup
:06:01. > :06:08.in May, and continued protests against the President.
:06:09. > :06:11.It's one week since floods brought devastation to parts of north west
:06:12. > :06:17.In Cumbria, river levels remain high, and more rain is forecast.
:06:18. > :06:19.But communities are showing their resilience -
:06:20. > :06:28.as Olivia Richwald reports, from Cockermouth.
:06:29. > :06:37.Cumbria put on a brave face today despite the rain continuing to fall.
:06:38. > :06:42.This time a week ago Cockermouth's Main Street was under several feet
:06:43. > :06:44.of water. Up to 700 homes and businesses flooded. Among them,
:06:45. > :06:49.mother and daughter Sheila and Claire raiment, who run adjacent
:06:50. > :06:55.shops in town. They lost thousands of pounds of stock and face huge
:06:56. > :06:59.repair bills. I feel devastated and heartbroken but at the same time
:07:00. > :07:02.we're starting to feel more positive because everyone is pulling
:07:03. > :07:06.together, telling us they are still going to support us and be there for
:07:07. > :07:12.us when we reopen. We want to get back in, don't we, really? They
:07:13. > :07:16.won't be back open until February, today, at least, a chance to do a
:07:17. > :07:21.little business. This time last week, the's Christmas Festival could
:07:22. > :07:24.easily have been cancelled but instead the organisers doubled in
:07:25. > :07:32.size and invited flooded businesses from across the county and invited
:07:33. > :07:35.them to set up stalls for free. This charity from Blackburn have been
:07:36. > :07:40.volunteering all week, today they made house calls giving food to
:07:41. > :07:44.flood victims. Further north, in Carlisle, boxer Amir Khan was also
:07:45. > :07:47.helping out. I didn't think it was going to be as bad as it is, coming
:07:48. > :07:52.here and seeing it physically myself. We have to definitely show
:07:53. > :07:57.our support and tried putting our hand out to these people and see
:07:58. > :08:00.what we can do for them. The army have lent strength and resources,
:08:01. > :08:07.removing ruined possessions from Carlisle's worst hit areas. To date
:08:08. > :08:11.was about Cumbria getting back to normal, but in reality, with shops
:08:12. > :08:20.- The Euro 2016 draw has just that'll take many months. -
:08:21. > :08:22.- The Euro 2016 draw has just taken place in Paris -
:08:23. > :08:24.with England, Wales and Northern Ireland finding
:08:25. > :08:26.who they'll face in the group stage of next year's tournament.
:08:27. > :08:33.Let's cross to our correspondent Richard Conway.
:08:34. > :08:42.bring us up-to-date with what's happening, Richard. It's a draw that
:08:43. > :08:47.will whet the appetite of fans. It's England and Wales drawn together in
:08:48. > :08:54.group B for the Euro 2016 tournament next summer, which means they play
:08:55. > :08:56.each other on June 16. Chris Coleman, Wales manager, wasn't too
:08:57. > :09:01.keen to draw in print, he said he'd rather avoid them, I'm sure England
:09:02. > :09:05.will feel the same way given the form of Wales coming into these
:09:06. > :09:09.championships. And Gareth Bale has been firing the goals, contributing
:09:10. > :09:12.as well. Northern Ireland are playing in the European
:09:13. > :09:17.Championships for the first time, they've been drawn in group D
:09:18. > :09:20.alongside... Group C, I should say, alongside Germany, Ukraine and
:09:21. > :09:25.Poland, a tough group for them playing against the world champions.
:09:26. > :09:30.The other teams in England and Wales group will beat Russia and Slovakia,
:09:31. > :09:35.Russia struggled under Fabio Capello but turned their form around, came
:09:36. > :09:40.back in and qualified. The hosts, France, will open their campaign
:09:41. > :09:45.against Romania on the 10th of June. The draw still ongoing, heading
:09:46. > :09:49.towards the final stages, we'll get the reaction from Roy Hodgson, Chris
:09:50. > :09:52.Coleman and Michael O'Neill, respective managers from the home
:09:53. > :09:59.nations. We'll see what they have to say. England against Wales will be
:10:00. > :10:00.grabbing all the headlines. Thanks for the update, Richard Conway in
:10:01. > :10:02.Paris. There's more throughout the evening
:10:03. > :10:10.on the BBC News Channel, I'll be back with the late news here
:10:11. > :10:11.at 10pm.
