Water from the drought-affected Guadalquivir river trickles under the Roman bridge in Cordoba, southern Spain, November 2, 2009. Time has almost run out to break deadlock on a U.N. climate deal supposed to be struck in Copenhagen next month, the United Nations and Denmark warned negotiators at a final preparatory meeting on Monday in Barcelona.
