Delegates at UN climate talks in Poland reached a last minute compromised today. This is after discussions deadlock2 when China and India arguing that the developing nations should not have to commit to cutting the same among of greenhouse gas emissions3 as developed nations. From Warsaw, the BBC’s Matt McGrath reports that is one compromise among many aimed a larger global deal in 2014. 
 
After an hour long huddling4 at the corner of the hall, a compromise was found where the word “contributions” was substituted for “commitments”. It may seem like trivial detail but it allows the richer countries to continue to claim that a new deal will apply to all, while for India and China it allows them to maintain that their obligations will be very different from the likes of the US and the European Union. This was a key moment of compromise, but many others will be required before the work is done in Warsaw. A new deal in Paris is still a very long way away.

Delegates to Afghanistan’s Grand Assembly Loya Jirga say they expect to overwhelmingly approve security agreement that allow US troops to stay in Afghanistan beyond 2014.

In northwest Pakistan, thousands of demonstrators turn out today to protest US drone strikes. They blocked crucial road that NATO used it to ferry supplies and equipment in and out of Pakistan. Meanwhile a legal battle is taking shape in Pakistan over the doctor who helped the CIA find Osama bin6 Laden7. From Islamabad, NPR’s Philip Reeves reports Shakil Afridi is charged with murder. 
 
The murder charge against Afridi stems from allegations involving a teenage boy who died after the doctor operated on him. The boy’s mother filed complaint. The boy actually died in 2006 and Afridi’s lawyers want to know why it is taking so long for the accusation8 to surface. They are vowing9 to put up Afridi’s legal battle. The doctor has already been sentenced to 33 years in jail over allegations of military links but that verdict was recently overturned as unsound. He still in prison though, awaiting a retrial. Afridi’s case is adding to the friction10 between Washington and Islamabad. US official preached he was a hero for his role in helping11 track down Bin Laden and to press for the doctor’s release. Philip Reeves, NPR News, Islamabad.
 
In Venezuela, thousands of protestors took to the streets, expressing outrage12 over food shortages and soaring inflation. They are also protesting a new law that allows the country socialist13 President Nicolas Maduro to rule by decree on economic matters. Maduro is blaming speculators for the more than 50% inflation and he has been ordering stores to drastically reduce prices. Opposition14 leader Henrique Capriles who narrowly lose April’s presidential election to Maduro called the day of protests ridiculous.
