French Foreign Minister,
Laurent Fabius.

French foreign minister Laurent Fabius, host of the 195-nation climate-saving talks in Paris, says he will submit a historic deal to ministers later today and is certain it will be approved.

International climate change talks have been extended beyond the official deadline in an effort to secure a deal to curb global warming.

"I will be in a position (on Saturday) morning ... to present to all parties a text, which, I am sure, will be approved and will be a big step forward for humanity as a whole," Mr Fabius said.
