IAEA: Iran nuclear roadmap a 'significant step forward'

A deal on limiting Iran's nuclear programme in return for the lifting of sanctions has been reached at talks in Vienna, diplomats say.

Under the agreement, access for nuclear inspectors monitoring Iran's programme would reportedly not be automatic.

Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it had signed a "roadmap" with Iran.

Director general of the agency, Yukiya Amano, described it as "significant step forward towards clarifying outstanding issues regarding Iran's nuclear programme".
