Sources say Vatican has blocked discussions over women's rights at COP29 climate summit .

Vatican aligned with Saudi Arabia , Russia , Iran , and Egypt to block deal.

Countries were due to update ten-year old UN climate plan to take account of women's experiences of climate change.

Vatican says it still hopes consensus can be reached with respect for sensitivities.

Last year only 36% of those negotiating at the conference were women, according to the UN .

But Ms Hdidou says part of the problem is the scant representation of women at the talks.

"Our voices are often shut out of the COP29 negotiating rooms," she said.
