UN climate talks run into overtime
Saturday, 13 December 2014

The UN-sponsored climate talks are being held in Peruvian capital Lima. Hours after the scheduled close of Friday’s session, officials and ministers were engaged in frantic haggling over a draft outlining a variety of country approaches -- trying to whittle it down to a consensus text, according to a news agency.
