Glad to hear - it doesn't always go so well for Brazilians on the tube...

I always thought the name given to the hearings in post-apartheid South Africa - the Truth and Reconciliation Commission - was inspired, as those seem to be two things that are absolutely vital in any attempt to mend a society that has been fractured by fear, hatred and violence.

Is John Simpson as nice in real life as he seems on TV?

I feel kind of bad that I've had the opportunity to ask anything of one of the BBC's most eminent correspondents, and I only asked about another correspondent!

If I may be allowed a better question: Recent years have seen violent and tragically fatal protests against the regime in Iran. Has that anger dissipated now that there is a reformist President in office, or is it just simmering under the surface?

I hope a deal can be reached then, for the Iranian people's sake! Thank you very much for your answers :)
