Iran: twice the (nuclear) power

The World

While in the Security Council of the United Nations, President Obama won unanimous adoption of a resolution to curb the proliferation and testing of nuclear weapons and move toward total disarmament, Iran continues to develop nuclear sites. This morning there are reports revealing the existence of a second uranium enrichment plant in Iran. The BBC’s defense and security correspondent, Nick Childs, joins us with a look at what this announcement will mean for next week’s high-level talks between the U.S. and Iran.
