Article-Summary: 

The major fault lines between rich and poor countries finally cracked open on Sunday as WTO talks collapsed in Cancun. A newly formed group of developing countries, including China, India and Brazil, stuck together to resist new negotiations and trade rules they felt were stacked against the poor, including the slashing of farm subsidies. An organisation called The Women’s Edge Coalition says the collapse is a victory for the world’s poor, the majority of whom are women.
