Obama, other leaders meet again at climate summit

COPENHAGEN – President Barack Obama and world leaders are holding another impromptu meeting in search of a climate deal.

Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said Friday that Obama was meeting behind closed doors with the leaders of Australia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Japan. Also participating in the talks were developing countries Ethiopia, Bangladesh and Colombia, among others.

China and Russia, both seen as key participants in the U.N. sponsored climate talks, also were present.

It was the second meeting of the day for the group. Obama headed into the first meeting right after arriving in Copenhagen. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao skipped the high-level meeting a second time and sent another envoy instead.here
