Delegates at the UN Climate Summit in the South African port city of Durban have finally reached a deal that aims to extend the 1997 Kyoto Protocol by five more years and launch talks towards a successor treaty.

Negotiations went on for an extra two days to try to get the world's biggest polluters to commit to a plan to cut carbon emissions. Al Jazeera's Jonah Hull reports from Durban.
