United Nations asks leaders to stay overnight in Copenhagen


    COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - The United Nations has asked world leaders to plan to stay overnight in Copenhagen because of deadlock at a U.N. climate summit meant to end on Friday, European Union Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas said.

    "The Secretary-General of the United Nations (Ban Ki-moon) has asked people not to leave tonight," Dimas told reporters.

    He said he was confident that leaders would eventually reach a deal. "I cannot imagine 120 leaders going back to their countries with empty hands. Everyone expressed commitment to fight climate change. OK, do it," he said.
