Are Some Disputes Beyond Negotiation?

Negotiating the non-negotiable; what next for Brazil's troubled economy as its president moves one step closer to impeachment; Lucy Kellaway on how emails enable aggression.

With many placing blame for the talks' failure on political differences between Saudi Arabia and Iran, we ask Dan Shapiro, founder of Harvard University's International Negotiation Program, whether some disputes are beyond resolution. Also, Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times blames the advent of email for rampant passive-aggression in the office. And Daniel Gallas reports from Brazil on what next for the country's troubled economy after its president Dilma Rousseff moves one step closer to impeachment.
