The goings-on at the Copenhagen climate summit are widely reported in Saturday's papers.

"Obama loses his cool with China" is the <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/obama-loses-his-cool-with-china-1845090.html"> Independent's</a> headline, following last-minute attempts to reach an agreement at the summit.

The Guardian reports a <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/dec/19/copenhagen-blame-game">"last minute scramble"</a> to save face at the talks.

Meanwhile, "Global warming? What a load of snowballs" is the Daily Star's headline, which sits alongside images of <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/113301/Britain-grinds-to-a-halt-after-heavy-snowfall/">people frolicking in the snow.</a>

'The Cold Truth'

The cold weather features prominently in headlines and images in the papers.

The Sun shows readers <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2776939/Blizzard-hit-Britain-gripped-by-Arctic-snap.html">a gritting lorry in Essex</a> which slid off the road and overturned, while the Daily Telegraph <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/uknews/6839879/Photographs-of-the-snow-fall-around-the-UK.html"> features images of children on sledges.</a>

A <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/12/19/uk-weather-chaos-big-freeze-causes-distruption-on-roads-and-rail-as-1-500-schools-are-shut-115875-21907952/">Daily Mirror</a> editorial gives readers what it calls "The Cold Truth" about weather-related problems.

"Winter comes every year, and every year Britain is caught woefully unprepared for ice and snow," it says, calling roads closures "humiliating".

Twitter hack attack

The theft of the sign above the entrance to Auschwitz which read "Arbeit Macht Frei" ("Work Sets you Free") prompts widespread outrage.

The Times, like a number of other papers, <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/12/19/uk-weather-chaos-big-freeze-causes-distruption-on-roads-and-rail-as-1-500-schools-are-shut-115875-21907952/">points the finger of suspicion at Neo Nazis.</a>

Meanwhile, the <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2777451/Iranian-hackers-bring-down-Twitter-site.html">Sun says Iranian fanatics were behind a hack attack on the Twitter website</a> which left users unable to log on for hours.

It says it was revenge for the use of Twitter to mobilise protesters in Teheran.

Wogan tributes

There are several tributes to Sir Terry Wogan after his final breakfast show on BBC Radio 2.

And many carry pictures of Sir Terry at work on his final day.

According to <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/6838310/Sir-Terry-Wogan-wakes-up-listeners-for-final-time.html">Daily Telegraph</a> radio critic Gillian Reynolds, the veteran broadcaster "has been turning thin air into gold for decades."

And an editorial in the <a class="inlineText" href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/tv-radio/barely-a-dry-eye-as-sir-terry-wogan-signs-off-1844507.html"> Independent</a> , his "dry humour and laid-back fogeyishness" fitted his audience "like a comfortable cardigan".
