Newspaper headlines: Sharma 'sorry' as India and China 'thwart' COP deal

The last-minute watering down of the UN climate deal is called a "coal climbdown" by the Sunday Telegraph.

The Sun says it is "a climate fudge", and the Mail on Sunday labels it a "Cop out".

The Sunday Times suggests India and China thwarted the deal.

Greenpeace tells the Sunday Express that "they changed a word but they can't change the signal ... that the era of coal is ending".

The Observer suggests the summit has kept the goal of limiting global heating to 1.5C within reach.

The Scottish Mail on Sunday is very upbeat, hailing it as the "most ambitious deal ever seen".

The climate summit is not front page news for most of the tabloids, with the Sunday Mirror focusing on the four jobs which it says the Conservative MP, Richard Fuller, has outside the Commons.

The papers says one of the roles is with a firm which invested in Chinese surveillance technology.

The Mirror points out that no rules have been broken. Mr Fuller does not comment.

The Observer says it has seen extracts from a diary kept by Boris Johnson's former lover, Jennifer Arcuri, which suggest he offered to be the "throttle" in the American businesswoman's career while he was the mayor of London.

The paper claims the details could be used to reopen an inquiry into his conduct.

A government spokesperson insists he followed all the legal requirements at the time.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps is described as the "minister for private jets" in the Sunday Times, which reports that he set up a unit which has opposed government plans to build on private airfields.

The paper says the unit has succeeded in blocking a housing development on one airfield, as well as plans for a factory on another that was recently used by Mr Shapps, who owns his own plane.

Government sources said the unit was an advisory team, not a lobbying group.

Finally, according to the Sunday Mirror, a type of salamander is becoming popular on children's Christmas wish lists, thanks to its appearance in the videogame, Minecraft.

Although the axolotl may look photogenic, the paper warns it does not do much, except breed and carry disease.

Experts fear owners may soon tire of their new amphibians and dump them in rivers where they could endanger wildlife.
