warned that his country would act against tehran if needed he also accused the iranian foreign minister of quote lying with eloquence while to drive home his point to tanya who held up a piece of what he said was an iranian drone shot down in israeli air space. iran also denies that it committed an act of aggression against israel last week that it sent a drone into our earth space to threaten our people well. here's a piece of that iranian drone or what's left of it after we shot it down i brought it here so you can see for yourself mr zarif. you recognize this. you should it's yours. you can take back with you a message to the tyrants of terror and do not test israel's

resolve that was the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu addressing the munich security conference earlier and speaking just a few hours after natalia who iran's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif dismissed the accusations leveled against his government you are. the audience for a cause too many secrets say it is. just this morning. which does not even this. a dignity of a response. well our chief political correspondent melinda crane is in munich covering the conference for us and she joins us now for more so melinda iran's foreign minister didn't respond directly to netanyahu the israeli prime minister but his speech did include a great deal of criticism against israel and other countries tell us more about these two competing philosophies that the two leaders presented today in munich. it

wasn't only these two leaders in fact it was a whole range of spokespeople both from the region and also including the former american secretary of state john kerry a russian spokesman and the u.n. official responsible for trying to negotiate peace in syria a whole range of voices and essentially two camps to be detected those who believe that a political and diplomatic solution to the conflicts in the region is not only possible but absolutely necessary and those who say no the great risks coming from a country for example like iran cannot be contained and in fact we need a military response so looking more closely at those two camps we essentially have israel on the one hand saying the agreement with iran to try to contain its nuclear

capacity is not going to stop it from becoming a nuclear power mr netanyahu said in ten years it will be a nuclear power and it will devour the entire middle east he got some very serious pushback following those remarks for example from john kerry who said essentially there is no military alternative if we torpedo the iran agreement we will hear renewed pressure to bomb iran and that will solve nothing melinda today is the final day. of the conference what is the overall feeling and what has been achieved at this year's meeting. the meeting was entitled the overall title of the conference is to the brink and back with a question mark at the end and we just heard the chairman of the conference saying at the closing he had hoped that by the end he could delete that question in other words we're coming back from the brink but he doesn't feel that's the case and in

fact the hot spots that were named and discussed here range from north korea enormous concern about nuclear proliferation proliferation not only there but because of rising tensions also between the u.s. and russia for example on the use of intermediate range nuclear weapons and whether agreements on nuclear disarmament can hold so that's one whole constellation the nuclear issue then we have still continuing questions about ukraine and tensions there and then of course the middle east so on a number of issues the sense that indeed the world is at the brink and it's not at all clear how we come back all right melinda crane chief political correspondent reporting from the munich security conference many thanks indeed. now in other news israel has carried out air strikes against targets in the palestinian controlled gaza strip the army said it targeted eighteen sites that were used by militant

a signal sent by the shooter because agents were too focused on their investigation into russian interference in the u.s. election well meanwhile students survivors and teachers from the school where the attack happened have been attending vigils and a rally calling for tougher gun control. just days ago these students were running in fear from the florida high school the latest scientific mass shooting in the united states but at the rally they express their anger at the predictable political response to the massacre. and. i thought oh no cuts in here is. how staggs all of it we need to make actual sheet there's only so many words that can be said before things move on before the press gets tired of seeing us on the news before people just change the channel. they're calling for talking to controls on the sale of semiautomatic weapons such as the fifteen the rifle used in the attack many of the students said

they thought that the country had reached a tipping point. i didn't everybody here and as awful as all of this is the fact that we are here right now shows that this is nothing like anything we've ever seen before. but at a gun show being held nearby there was some very familiar scenes dozens of assault style rifles are on display organizers resisted pressure to cancel the event in light of the shooting while visitors said the guns themselves were not to blame for the tragedy. back at the rally one of the speakers took aim at president although trump she criticized him for focusing on mental health issues rather than the easy access to dangerous weapons she also attacked him and others for taking donations from powerful gun lobby groups. but we need to pay attention to the fact that this isn't just a mental health issue. that
