Figueres stressed the new climate pact, due to enter into force from 2020, "must irreversibly bend the curb of emissions", which have continued rising. But many techni - calities have to be resolved, including the very legal nature of the pact and how it will be monitored and enforced. The talks are the first chance for negotiators to discuss a rough 22-page outline for the deal that has been drawn up by working group leaders and distributed for scrutiny in July. The meeting must also start narrowing down what data countries will be required to provide when they submit their pledges for emissions curbs in the first quarter of next year. This topic will likely see negotiators return to a sore point -- whether rich countries should have tougher targets because of their longer history of burning fossil fuels.

Life on Mars? Fossil of crocodile-like creature spotted on Red Planet WASHINGTON: A fossilised crocodile-like creature has been spotted on Mars, reaffirming the belief that there was once life on the red planet. Mars Curiosity Rover , astronomer Joe White, 45, had noticed a lump of rock in the footage, which looked quite similar to a snout of a croc - odile, the Daily Star reported. The space video journalist from Bristol said that the object's contours were similar to that of crocodile on earth, and since it was stiff, it was either fossilised or frozen. The image was shot from the six-foot-high right hand side mast cam on the Curiosity Rover earlier this year, however, NASA hasn't released any official statement about the mar - tian reptile. 7 JAMMU | WEDNESDAY | OCTOBER 22 | 2014 Golden YuG Legal proceedings likely, Chennaiyin FC hosts Kerala Blasters in its first home tie says Shivlal Yadav CHeNNAI: Chennaiyin FC Pelissari, while marquee is in a strange position. signing elano Blumer will HYDeRABAD: Unlike the other teams in look to provide the much- Board of Control for the Indian Super league, it needed spark in midfield.
