His voice breaking with emotion after hearing from vulnerable nations which expressed their anger over the changes to the text, he said: "May I just say to all delegates I apologise for the way this process has unfolded and I am deeply sorry."
"I also understand the deep disappointment but I think as you have noted, it's also vital that we protect this package."
