A spoken-word student-video with more than a million views on YouTube dramatizes how few African-Americans are admitted to UCLA. We hear what it's like to be one of the only black students on campus. Race-based affirmative action was banned by California voters in 1996. What other strategies can help increase diversity? Are they being implemented at UCLA? Also, a full-grown mountain lion slinks through Griffith Park with the Hollywood sign in the background. We hear what it took to get some remarkable photographs.

On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, when nuclear talks resume tomorrow, the Obama Administration is optimistic about a deal with Iran. But Israel, Saudi Arabia and both parties in Congress, are warning that a bad deal would be worse than no deal at all. We'll hear about the most likely terms for an agreement and why they're causing so much diplomatic and political friction.
