Talks resume to break Zimbabwe deadlock

Zimbabwe MPs heckled each other during the first working session of the new opposition-dominated parliament today as negotiators tried to salvage the African country’s power-sharing agreement.

Riot police also broke up a demonstration staged by students outside the legislature. Witnesses saw at least three students bundled into a police van. A number of others were injured in a scuffle and had to be helped to a nearby clinic. Police did not comment.
