"Global Climate Talks Extended To Overcome Disputes"

"PARIS - Global climate talks are taking longer than planned to overcome disputes and will last an extra day into Saturday, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said.

He told French BFMTV that he would present a new compromise text of a deal to combat global warming on Saturday morning, aiming for an accord among almost 200 nations around midday, and not on Friday as originally planned.

'But the atmosphere is good, things are positive, things are going in the right direction,' he said. The talks, which began on Nov. 29, had been due to end on Friday."

Emmanuel Jarry, Alister Doyle and Nina Chestney report for Reuters December 11, 2015.
