Six nations talks 'back on track'

Just when it looked like the six-nation talks over North Korea's nuclear program were faltering, the United States has announced the process is back on track.

The US has agreed to take North Korea off a list of states that sponsor terrorism -- the so-called "axis of evil" -- and in exchange, North Korea will resume disabling its nuclear facilities and allow inspectors in. But the deal has received a mixed response, with a Japanese MP calling it "extremely regrettable" despite the US saying it got "every single thing" it wanted out of the deal.
