    Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are together again for the first time in almost two years. How long will it last? What’s the role of Iran? How great is the risk for Obama? Also, another off-shore explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, and Britain's former Prime Minister Tony Blair was forced from office by his own party. We hear how his new memoir is being received in England.
