The trade ministers of the 12 nations struggling to finalise the Trans-Pacific Partnership gather in Hawaii for a group photo. They're still trying to iron out the remaining obstacles to signing the free trade deal. Those obstacles include a major divide over how long drugs makers can have a monopoly on new medications. The U.S. wants 12-year patent protection, others want five years before such medication can be generically produced. Consumer advocacy group Public Citizen's Access to Medicines Program says lives are at stake.

The proposed TPP deal would cut trade barriers and set common standards from workers rights to copyright for 40 per cent of the world economy.
