Copenhagen:
As world leaders struggle to strike a compromise at Copenhagen, hundreds of climate activists on Wednesday marched towards the venue of the meet, the Bella Centre, claiming the talks have failed.
It's the last lap at Copenhagen. In just about 48 hours, world leaders gathered at Copenhagen are meant to seal an accord.
The big question however is can a compromise be reached before the summit ends?
UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has made a desperate appeal. "Three years of effort have come down to three days of action. Let us not falter in the home stretch," he said.
The European Union is pushing for a single agreement that 'goes beyond Kyoto'.
Basic countries - Brazil, South Africa, India and China - are speaking in one voice that developed countries must make mitigation pledges.
While the United States has virtually ruled out carbon cutting targets, the small island states have raised a strong pitch for obligations on the rich and emerging economies.
Even though leaders agree that a time of consensus has come, consensus seems far away.
The latest draft texts have even more gaps than before, reflecting the deepening rifts among the developed and developing nations.
