Former U.S. diplomat Dr. Richard Haass pauses as he speaks to the media during a press conference at Stormont Hotel, Belfast, Northern Ireland, Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2013. All-night talks have failed to produce an accord in Northern Ireland on key issues including the use of flags and parades which are causes of continuing dispute between Protestants and Catholics. Haass said a working group of the five main political parties will now look for other ways to move the process forward. (AP Photo/Peter Morrison)
