Tonight on PBS News Weekend, high-stakes talks between the United States and Iran begin

as they discuss sanctions and the future of Iran's advancing nuclear program.

Then we investigate why more and more patients are getting hit with unexpected fees when

they go to the doctor's office and the joys and challenges of raising children as a parent

with disabilities.

Admitting that disabled people exist and that we make good parents is also admitting that

none of this is promised and all bodies are fragile and all bodies have needs.

Good evening. I'm John Yang. In Oman today, the United States and Iran appear to have taken the first steps that could lead to a new agreement to limit Iran's nuclear activities and lift U.S. economic sanctions.

On social media, the Omani foreign minister who mediated today's indirect talks said they took place in a friendly atmosphere conducive to bridging viewpoints.

The White House described the meeting as very positive and constructive.

And the Iranian foreign minister said the two sides briefly interacted

when their paths crossed at the end of today's session

and that they will meet again next Saturday.

Karim Sajyapur is a senior fellow with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

He focuses on Iran and U.S. Middle East policy.

Karim, a little brief encounter. It sounds like in a hallway, agreement to meet again.

Is this about as much as one could hope out of this meeting?

The fact that they've agreed on a second meeting, I think, is as much anyone could have hoped for.

But our expectations should be realistic.

This is not a negotiation about a U.S.-Iran rapprochement and Nixon-to-China moments, you know, normalization of relations.

This is really whether the two sides can agree on something which limits Iran's nuclear program,

and that's going to be a tall order.
