Stumbling blocks for Vienna's nuclear talks


A deadline for resolving a 12-year-old dispute over Iran's nuclear program may be extended to March due to disagreements between Tehran and western powers meeting in Vienna. 

A deadline of Monday had been set to reach a deal where Iran curbed its atomic programme in return for the lifting of sanctions.   The United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China are leading the talks with Iran.   

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told reporters that important differences remain between the two sides.   Officials have said the self-imposed deadline might not be met, with some kind of interim agreement being more likely.

But Kelsey Davenport from the Arms Control Association says some progress has already been made:

OBESITY COST TO WORLD 'AS GREAT AS ARMED CONFLICT'

Obesity costs the world as much as smoking or armed conflict, according to a new study.

The research by The Mckinsey Global Institute calculates the worldwide cost of obesity at £1.3tn ($2bn) annually, which is higher than alcoholism and climate change.

It says 2.1 billion people are overweight or obese - which is 30% of the world's population.

The report authors suggest ambitious policies that rely less on an individual's responsibility for their own weight.

They want portion control introduced to packaged food, action on fast food and processed food, and workplace fitness schemes.

Tam Fry from the National Obesity Forum in the UK says getting on top of obesity is easier said than done.
