The art of negotiation

Our rep at ITN, Dan Wright, speaks during an adjournment at talks held today. The clip was recorded during a rare moment of optimism, sadly the mood changed as talks dragged on till eight pm with no sign, as yet, of real progress. Question; what is the definition of negotiation? is it a) when one side gets 100% of what they want and the other side get zero, b) when nobody gets what they want or c) when both sides accept that neither will get 100% of what they want and that in order to reach an agreement both sides will have to give?
