Building Bridges with Iran
Barack Obama calls for a diplomatic approach to agreement with Iran over nuclear issues. Could this ultimately lead to an easing of sanctions?

But there is suddenly the prospect that President Obama maybe about to meet the new Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. It is just a maybe - but both leaders are at the UN General Assembly.
