be found but critics say this will only be seen money pretty the country. this is coming to you live from moscow hello and welcome to the program took the opportunity to ramp up its war a trick against iran as prime minister netanyahu address the world community and the u.n. general assembly has called for drawing a clear red line on tel rounds nuclear program to stop it from building a bomb iran has always insisted it's only pursuing the peaceful outcome in a fortnight is following developments in new york for. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu took to the podium to address the international body and presented somewhat of a show wintel why his diplomatic approach this year in his speech was to hold up
2:02 am
somewhat of a cartoonish figure of a bomb to indicate what he believes is iran's nuclear program he was holding off is drawing literally drew a red line in that he indicated israelis believe that iran has enriched seventy percent enough. to make a bomb and at the ninety percent line these are really prime minister drew a red line with a marker to indicate that the international community he says should draw that line and if you run why it would lead to military intervention benjamin netanyahu says that sanctions over the past seven years that have been placed on tehran has not deterred them from continuing their nuclear program and so he was trying to rally the world body to take a more forceful actions against iran but clearly this was
2:03 am
a different tactic most representatives take what addressing the international community usually they give somewhat of a speech there is some tension rising between the u.s. and israel over iran because the u.s. has not been as forceful with this red line rhetoric as israel has been and israel is hoping that the u.s. will be more aggressive in setting in which there could be side of kind of consequences put upon iran if iran continues its nuclear program so clearly a lot of issues being discussed at the u.n. as all these world leaders are meeting in new york for the week. very i mean netanyahu estimated at timeframe of spring or summer twenty thirteen for iran to complete the next stage of its uranium enrichment and middle east commentator ramsey barritt says israeli prime minister is treading on dangerous ground he is
2:04 am
digging a hole for himself he provided this timeline of one year where we can't possibly be go beyond that so he basically committed himself directly or indirectly that he is going to destroy iran's nuclear ambitions within one year if nothing is being done about it and you know why i feel like you are i think it's a message also to the united states that if you do not back us up we are going to act unilaterally and we know the power of the israeli lobby in washington and elsewhere in america they are not going to allow this to happen so we are going to see you when we hear of constant israeli pressures to drag the united states into another war they do not see eye to eye when it comes to iran they do not see eye to eye when it comes to many issues including the occupation. of palestine now the challenge is will obama hold his ground or will be in the selling out the same way that he did in the past i think this is the challenge and i think this timeline is not just concerning iran but it's also concerning the united states itself. the
2:05 am
conflict between the israelis and the palestinians has also been highlighted at the u.n. the palestinian leader said his nation would continue to eventually seek full membership while seeking nonmember state as during the session now what about also denounced israel's home demolitions and the ethnic cleansing of palestinians political analyst and antiwar activist phyllis bennett says the u.s. is going too far and its support of the church state. it's absolutely within reach and the one thing it could accomplish would be joining the international criminal court which would set the stage at least potentially for a serious international investigation of possible israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on palestinian territory in gaza for instance during operation cast lead in two thousand and eight and nine the threat is of course the threat that the united states has made to the united nations and its agencies that any u.n. agency that welcomes palestine as on equal footing with any other member is subject
2:06 am
to the punishment that happened to unesco last year when palestine was welcomed as a full member of you know asco and the u.s. immediately cut its seventy million dollar contribution twenty two percent of us goes budget it was a very harsh punishment i think that the threat to the u.s. and israel as a result would be massive international outrage that the u.s. would be using the excuse of palestinian membership in one way or another u.n. agency as an excuse to cut its obligations to the world body. georgia also has have former prison officer who leaked the deer's of an inmate being tortured on interpol's wanted list to basically names that leadin about a cousin who is now seeking asylum in belgium is wanted for alleged involvement in their prison abuse the release of the footage sparked massive protests across georgia ahead of the country's parliamentary election to georgian ministers have resigned with officers accused of the alleged torture of arrested president

skyrocketing unemployment have triggered fears the measures could only land france in deeper trouble on his very very notion our report. therefore sir i often see very. young destroys year or shows about both start up as you go there i bridge the time of crisis is over it's now time for france's president francois hollande to perform a miracle this is how some of the task facing all along in his first annual budget and the country's image in the faltering eurozone is also at stake the government needs to save thirty billion euros in twelve months to reduce the deficit from this year's four and a half percent to three percent the e.u. ceiling for member countries higher taxes for business and wealthy individuals are expected to bring twenty billion and all and has outlined a plan to save the other ten billion by cutting public spending hans was so you know has worked in

like these are a yearly occurrence thousands of orthodox worshippers implicity water to commemorate the baptism of jesus. when you pull up on board the model it doesn't matter if it's minus thirty it's a siberian tradition i do it myself every year for everyone to overcome their worst fears it is desirable to take the plunge. but that's picture postcard churches the story of a city built by opportunist explorers political exiles and crafty fur traders. in the fifteen eighties the russians had only just conquered siberia taking it from the muslims. surrounded by enemies to be their stronghold constructed on top of the city but soon enough it became an economic hub siberian fire was the oil of its

time bringing in a third of the state revenue but the location head of the says for the russians. to moscow's one of the most popular places to send political dissent is not any people were exiled that once a giant bow that was used to incite riots was supposed to set a three hundred ten. the russian the crowd. a revolt against the eight hundred twenty five known as the decembrists. they created a replica high society adopting the latest fashions as soon as they came out or at least once they made it from paris to siberia but the city also served up some bitter irony for the russian royal family after the bolshevik revolution. this is the office was nicholas the second spend most of the last year of his life his whole family had been exiled here they led a fairly comfortable existence this was a big house but they weren't allowed to see visitors or gartside themselves whilst

2:28 am
iran before the american election and force washington's intervention as well. to cross out the possibility of a strike against iran i'm joined by me go palate in san diego he is a peace activist and author of the general son journey of an israeli in power stein in tel aviv we have gideon levy he's a columnist and member of the her doubts editorial board all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want get in there such as there's a concept called the october surprise meaning right before a month before a presidential election something happens to change it ok and our viewers may know some of those events what do you think the possibility is that israel unilaterally could attack iran if netanyahu is count gone to the united nations and made his case i mean he thinks he's right. it's hard to imagine the. take in the coming weeks it's really almost impossible to imagine it
2:29 am
even though you know. when you speak about the surprise you speak about something which might be unexpected which must be unexpected but if we are really talking ration the lead there is no chance that it would be to do something right now as long as it is perceived as a ration of the country you know mico it i think that really hit the nail on the head here because in western media and we hear from a lot of israeli officials from the right wing is that the move those are irrational all of those all the leadership in iran is irrational that's why they can't have the bomb eccentric cetera but i think it ends right i mean we get a lot of irrationality coming out of people like netanyahu. yes that's true at the same time i would say that israel needs the iran issue and the iran threat as a distraction it's used it for several years now as a smokescreen.
