Its 11.54 am. , Sunday. The ministers are meeting right now - its gone down to a 'condensed ministerial' designed to thresh out the final bits of the deal, without those pesky NGO's or officials observing. Each minister has two advisors. Shane Rattenbury volunteered to be an advisor to the Australian minister David Kemp, but he was turned down. He is struggling to get over the disappointment.

The ministers are agreeing to the final sticking points to the deal including water and sanitation, renewable energy, trade and finance and the precautionary principle.
