Cutaway of the press\u003cbr/\u003eEnglish/Nat\u003cbr/\u003eWith just two days left at the Kyoto world climate summit talks in Japan, Europe and the U-S remain at loggerheads over the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. \u003cbr/\u003eEuropeans want emissions cut 15 percent by 2010. But the U-S say they won't promise what they can't deliver. \u003cbr/\u003eAs the debate continues, environment ministers from 150 nations are still trying to thrash out an agreement to limit greenhouse gas emissions over the next 20 years.\u003cbr/\u003eEuropean environment ministers are sticking to their goal of cutting greenhouse gases by 15 per cent by 2010, despite pressure from the U-S to relax their stand. \u003cbr/\u003eMany delegates at Tokyo's world climate summit supported the European position on Monday, and called for common law and regulations to bind all developed countries to flat rate reductions.\u003cbr/\u003eKinza Clodumar, President of Nauru, warned that the industrial powers are about to commit \"cultural genocide\" against small and weak island nations like the tiny western Pacific republic of Nauru.\u003cbr/\u003eOn Nauru, the shoreline fringe where the 10,000 people live rises no higher than 6 feet (2 metres), encircling a central plateau that once held phosphates but was long ago gouged out by mining.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"We are trapped, our waste at our back and to our front a terrifying rising flood of biblical proportions. The crime is called cultural genocide. It must not be tolerated by the family of nations. The crime is no less when it is perpetrated slowly by the emission of invisible gases.\" \u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Kinza Clodumar, President of Naruru\u003cbr/\u003eSenator Robert Hill, Australia's environment minister, told delegates that cost sharing was essential to ensure cuts in emissions. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"To achieve this differentiated targets to ensure equitable sharing of the cost of actions across the whole of Annex One are essential.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Senator Robert Hill, Australian Environment Minister\u003cbr/\u003eBut despite calls for reducing emissions by 15 percent, the U-S continues to push for targets which they consider more realistic.\u003cbr/\u003eEarlier at the climate conference on Thursday, U-S Vice President Al Gore said the U-S negotiating team in Kyoto had been given increased negotiating flexibility if the\u003cbr/\u003eeventual plan preserves basic principles of the U-S position.\u003cbr/\u003eGore refused to commit America to any action which would curb the threat of chaotic weather patterns if the pollution continues.\u003cbr/\u003eAdministration and congressional sources reported a key condition for deeper U-S gas reductions remained the \"meaningful participation\" in cutback plans by developing countries, which thus far have been exempted.\u003cbr/\u003eThe American stand sparked a bout of bitter criticism.\u003cbr/\u003eDemonstrators from Friends of the Earth stood outside the conference centre reading aloud from Gore's book in rebuttal. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"The developed nations must be willing to lead by example otherwise the third world is not likely to consider making the required changes even in return for substantial assistance. Al Gore.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Vox Pop, Demonstrator\u003cbr/\u003eAustralia has also drawn fire from rich nations in recent weeks for a stance that would actually lead to a rise in greenhouse gas emissions over coming years.\u003cbr/\u003eAustralian Environment Minister Robert Hill said recent government measures would in fact bring a cut of four percent in Australia's per capita emissions.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"Well we hope in another two days to be signing onto a figure that's good for Australia and good for our contribution to a better global outcome.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Robert Hill, Australian Environment Minister\u003cbr/\u003eSome nations, like Germany, said they were prepared not only to abide by the 15 percent goal in reducing emissions, but to exceed it. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"The German government has agreed to cut CO2 emissions by 25 percent by 2005 as compared to 1990 levels. \"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Dr. Angela Merkel, German Environment Minister\u003cbr/\u003eNew Zealand proposed Thursday that developing countries should set legally binding goals for the limitation of greenhouse gas emissions for the period beyond 2014.\u003cbr/\u003eThe proposal, however, drew strong criticism from developing  countries.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"The reaction to the New Zealand resolution and proposal was quite a violent reaction from countries who appeared to feel the developed countries were really breaking the Berlin mandate in suggesting there had to be condition of this agreement, that they had to be signed up and so we thought it would be very useful to talk to the various countries involved to get an assessment as to how they feel about these matters and indeed how they feel about the Article 10 which is a matter for consideration and voluntary joining up to.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: John Prescott, British Deputy PM\u003cbr/\u003eJohn Prescott, Britain's Deputy Prime Minister, warned that the world faces catastrophe unless countries taking part in the talks agree to reduce their polluting greenhouse gases.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"Everybody's talking to everybody. Everybody want to try and get some agreement and hopefully we will if there is sufficient political will.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: John Prescott, British Deputy PM\u003cbr/\u003eThe 10-day Kyoto conference, which began last Monday, is seeking to adopt a protocol imposing legally binding targets among industrialized nations to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.\u003cbr/\u003eSuch greenhouse gases, produced mainly from the burning of oil, coal and other fossil fuels, are blamed by many scientists for a rise  in the Earth's temperature by trapping heat
