11:05 pm
does not conform to what u.s. and israeli intelligence agencies know to be the truth. >> shia brittanzi in washington. coming up at 11:30 8:30 pacific. photographs show boris nemtsov, showing two figures on the bridge where the former deputy prime minister was shot. the station identified the people in the video as nemtsov and his companion. a passing snow plow blocks the view of the actual shooting. the radio station the echo of moscow has also released new video footage of nemtsov the day he died. he spoke to the station just hours before he died as his experience as an outspoken critic of the administration.

11:11 pm

critical opinion as to whether we exist or not, it is my duty to prevent this great danger to the state of israel. >> accused netanyahu of cherry picking the venue of the talks in order to katz them in the worst light possible and says it will stop sharing information from the negotiations with the israeli officials. >> there is no question that some of the things the israelis have said in characterizing our negotiating position have not been accurate, no question about that. >> some 30 congressional democrats have said they will skip the speech to congress. secretary of state john kerry says there's nothing to be lost of tryingto for a deal with iran. >> i tell you israel is safer today with the added time that we have given and the stop stoppage
11:33 pm
of the advancement of the iranian nuclear program than before which by the way the prime minister opposed and he was wrong. now he says we should extend that interim agreement. >> mike viqueria, washington. >> after reu renewing his veto of the iran bill, and just today he told cbs news that tensions between netanyahu and the white house are quote no secret in this town. president obama's national security advisory susan rice has voiced opposition to netanyahu's address saying the move would be destructive to u.s. israeli relations. president obama also announced he wouldn't meet with netanyahu before the speech saying it would be inare appropriate two weeks before israeli elections. vice president bientd biden would noirm
11:34 pm
normally attend but announced weeks ago he wouldn't. and others have announced they wouldn't be there all of them democrats. that if true, would represent a sea change in american politics. dov waxman, northeastern university, joining us from boston and ari radner. mr. waxman has the u.s. support for israel become a partisan issue? >> well, i think this has been a process that's been going on for some time. i mean the republican party in particular has really sought to turn israel and support for israel into a wedge issue within the u.s. domestic politics in a hope of atracking some support and jewish donors and appealing to their own christian evening
11:35 pm
evangelical base. >> are we seeing a shift in the support for israel? >> it's true had israel like much of american politics has become more partisan. it is not only an issue between left and right it is a generationallal issue. millennials are more supportive than other ages, and american politics like gay marriage or abortion. so it's certainly an ongoing trend but i agree with the previous guest that this is an incident that takes it to a new height. >> so let's take a closer look at the speech. mr. waxman this will probably be the most important speech of netanyahu's career. is it shaping it more for the people of israel, to the administration or to the congress, to the american people? >> well, i think he's speaking to two audiences. he's certainly speaking to his
11:36 pm
own domestic audience just simply by his willing to go to defy the president and hopefully, what he hopes to be receiving standing ovations from congress, he will be displaying both his determination to defend israel's interest particularly with regards to iran and also he will be rebutting the allegation of his own political rivals that he has damaged the u.s. israeli rim. he will be -- relationship. he will be showing that he has the support of congress behind him, his relations won't be with the united states but with the president himself. according to reports from his own office, he's going to be telling congress and senators about information in the emerging nuclear agreement with iran that he thinks they don't know, that he thinks they need to know and that he thinks will affect their attitudes towards any agreement with iran. so he's clearly hoping to persuade congress that the deal that the obama administration is reaching with iran is not only a bad deal for israel but is also
11:37 pm
a bad deal for the united states itself. >> looking more for the content mr. radner what are we expecting the content to be? >> well i think there will be an attempt to speak on many levels to many different audiences. to some extent the prime minister has to come out and allay many of the suspicions not only in the white house but particularly with the democratic party about a speech so i expect certainly at the outset him to express respect for the warehouse, respect for about president and respect for the u.s., common values, shared intreftsd, the degree of closeness between our two societies. but certainly the heartfelt speech will be about iran. and he will seek to really attack what seems to be the deal that is being negotiated, which from -- certainly from prime minister netanyahu's perspective
11:38 pm
and frankly from many israeli perspectives crosses many red lines so to speak. the number of centrifuges that will spin the idea that there will be a sunset clause on the agreement. he will probably try opick apart that agreement piece -- to pick apart that agreement piece by piece. certainly very difficult because one part of congress mostly the republican side will be supportive of what he says and he has complicated issues quite severely with the democratic side of congress. we'll see what the result is but i expect him to be concentrating on iran and the agreement. >> let's zig deeper with his thoughts, gentlemen stand by for just a moment. al jazeera and the guard and why newspaper has gained access to top secret intelligence documents from around the world some of them show a split in what netanyahu said in 2012 and what israeli said about it at the same time.
11:39 pm
clayton swisher reports. >> this is a bomb, this is a fuse. >> it is now notorious. the moment israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu warned the u.s. of a nuclear bomb. the imagery was simplistic, and so what was the message. >> by next spring and latest next summer, they will have finished the medium enrichment and move on to the final stage. >> spy cables reveal, just one month before the speech, israeli intelligence said a different message, this is a secret mossad tape. it's only warning is for the future. >> it is working to close gaps in areas that appear legitimate which will reduce the time required to produce weapons from the time instruction is actually given.
11:40 pm
>> the mossad chief mayer degam was clear. an attack on iran is not the right way. in the spy cables 100 kilos of uranium, but instead iran got rid of it as part of the nuclear negotiations. clayton swisher, al jazeera. >> what is at stake for israel? >> i think what the report shows which is very significant there being not merely a difference of interpretation between prime minister netanyahu and the people in the israeli security implement, we have known for quite some time that high ranking people of the security establishment had difference with prime minister netanyahu.
11:41 pm
this is a difference in fact. what prime minister netanyahu said in his speech did not accord with the facts. this is quite a serious fact and something that i think prime minister netanyahu should be asked about. but more broadly what this indicates is really that, you know, prime minister netanyahu for some time has been single minded in his focus even obsessive if you like on his focus on the iranian nuclear issue. he has often let's say been somewhat loose with the facts in terms of talking about the danger or at least the immediacy of this danger. this is one of the problems he faces now. i think he is someone as seen as the boy who cried wolf. he has repeatedly warned of the imminence of a iranian nuclear weapon opposed to the interim agreement that the p-5 struck with iran and an agreement that he now wants to see extended. >> calling him a broken record
11:42 pm
regarding iran, mr. radner, there is another thing driving mr. netanyahu his own political future. >> certainly the israeli elections taking place march 17th which appeared closer than they were originally called a couple of months ago is a critical factor in prime minister netanyahu's thinking in his decision to visit washington, the whole range of what's occurring here including in the white house's reaction itself. so that's foremost on his mind. i would imagine as he comes to washington, not just obviously the threat he views from iran which to be fair, i think he certainly does see as an existential, there is a disagreement between him and members of his own security establishment but certainly the politics are at play both in israel and in the united states.
11:43 pm
>> the question mr. waxman what happens after the speech? will this in any way sway talks or block congress from a possible agreement? >> it is very unlikely. we know prime minister northwestern is a very eloquent speaker. we know that he's going to make a very powerful case against the agreement. there's really very little i think he's going to say that's likely to change the u.s. calculations in seeking an agreement with iran, in particular because although netanyahu does have some very letting concerns in the agreement that's rumored to be emerging the real flaw is he isn't presenting anything else, essentially he's just saying this is a bad agreement he isn't proposing or really hasn't proposed any other strategy. it is unlikely to change the obama administration's decision to go forward. whether it will change the vote in congress that remains to be
11:44 pm
seen. i think though it will have a probably beneficial impact for him in the israeli elections and as the previous guest said, that is no doubt very much in his mind as well. >> let me bring up a very good point mr. radner, did the united states bring up a very important point about the previous administration, or decide it? >> i used to be a member of the obama administration he has made a mistake from an israeli national security perspective on first off by crying wolf so many times and not presenting a viable alternative including things like transferring enriched uranium to third party countries, he's had a minimal impact on the negotiation is themselves. there's a possibility that the israelis could have had a more direct impact on negotiations themselves without participating, obviously if they would have taken -- would be seen by the negotiating parties as a more reasonable position. now clearly part of israel's
11:45 pm
role in this is to play bad cop. netanyahu has done that effectively. but i think from a long term perspective he has certainly exacerbated the partisan divide here both in washington and generationally, he is seen as a very controversial figure now in washington particularly on the left. and it's unclear that he's even helped himself domestically. that very much remains in doubt. so i think the speech itself was strategic miscalculation, all that said the speech is yet to take place. so reactions could be surprisingly positive both in israel and potentially even in the united states. >> we'll have to leave it there doug waxman, northeastern university and ari radner, good to have you with us on the week ahead. >> thank you. >> a programming note, israeli prime minister natali bennett, a

11:51 pm
mr. vasquez is more formal, less ideologic. uruguayns know what they want, they have a new president who they've had before familiarity and stability are two key elements of how uruguayans define themselves. he left office with an 87% approval rating. but this time around, poverty is still a problem and the new president will want to ensure that uruguay with a population of less than 4 million is held above its more volatile neighbors. daniel schwindler, al jazeera monte video. >> australiaaustralia indonesia and malaysia unveiled a new flight monitoring system, indicating

11:54 pm
