Zimbabwe Power-Sharing Talks at Impasse

Discussions on the composition of a unity government for Zimbabwe are in the hands of mediators, after political leaders failed to reach agreement during initial talks. The power-sharing deal calls for long-time President Robert Mugabe to share power with the opposition Movement for Democratic Change and its leader Morgan Tsvangirai. VOA's Chris Simkins looks at the challenges in forming a new government and efforts to get international aid to people who are starving.
