but many had wanted a strongerform of words calling for the phasing out of coal, oil and gas. our climate editorjustin rowlatt reports from dubai. we waited and we waited and then. hearing no objection, it is so decided. with the bang of a gavel, the deal was done. applause. and it got a standing ovation. so the hammer has just gone down here, and that was the fastest that an agreement text has ever been agreed. the presidency is calling this an historic agreement, but it is hedged around with questions and doubts. it calls on countries to contribute to ambitious actions to tackle climate change. now, i could do a single plate and claim to have contributed to doing the washing up, but would you consider that i had really pulled my weight? the president of these talks was in no doubt how important it was. together we have confronted realities, and we have set the world in the right direction. there was support from many countries, especially richer nations. this is a momen

have reacted with fury to a draft agreement due to be signed in the coming hours. it includes a range of actions countries could take to reduce emissions, but makes no direct reference to phasing out fossilfuels which had been in an earlier d raft. the eu is threatening to walk out, a representative of small island states says it would be like signing their death certificate. our climate editorjustin rowlatt has the latest. when the new draft was released, there was confusion. negotiators and journalists scrolled through the pages. the realisation slowly dawning that the agreement had changed. a landmark deal to get rid of the fossil fuel responsible for climate change had seemed within reach. now it appeared to be being snatched away. eamon ryan is one of the eu s lead climate negotiators. if the text doesn t change, will you walk away from the deal? this text will not be acceptable. would you walk away? if this doesn t change, it will not be accepted as a text. so what
