1:02 am
his government members not to give comments regarding the recent phone call between the radian and american presidents in fact he's ordered them not to talk at all regarding the whole issue of iran and this is presumably to avoid any kind of embarrassment while natanya who is in the united states and also for israel to seemingly present a united front prior to leaving israel for new york netanyahu said that he was going to use this opportunity at the united nations to show the truth about to rant particularly now while all these plays and trees are being said last week when the iranian president rouhani addressed the u.n. security council netanyahu criticized that addressed severely saying that was full of hypocrisy and cynicism at the time he ordered the israeli delegation to boycott the station and warned the international community not to be fooled by signs of so-called moderation by the way in government we will not be fooled by half
1:03 am
measures that merely provide a smokescreen for your rants continual pursuit of nuclear weapons. and the world should not be fooled either. understand davey israeli internal security vision bit announced that it had wasted a belgian citizen with a rainy an r region for allegedly spying against israel now the incident happened already three weeks ago but the information has only now been released while netanyahu is in the united states and of course questions are being asked about its timing many are suggesting that it is to store up ammunition for netanyahu his position that a position that he's going to be putting across in the united states it also comes at a time when the first time in decades we see a warming in the relationship between the united states and iran now rouhani in his address last week also called for a nuclear free middle east it's highly unlikely that the israelis will ever agree to this israel has never admitted having nuclear weapons but at the same time it
1:04 am
has never denied that it does policy on our team tel aviv. and in the meantime a notable israeli journalist over gideon levy told us here at r.t. that it will not be an easy task when it on yahoo to persuade the u.s. leader that iran cannot be trusted in any situation. practically they get these already a long time ago because president obama and prime ministers. see hardly eye to eye in none of the main topics a good part is theme in question be they run in question in ateneo size is anything which is less than bomb being iran is not the right solution he would come up with a lot of intelligence material trying to prove that there is no change on the ground in iran he would try to spoil the party as you say but in any case i think that we have no two in here diplomacy a chance and give me
1:05 am
a chance no doubt the reason basic fundamental change in iran and israel can only benefit out of feet. we can step back in time on our website r t v dot com to see how a year ago netanyahu drew the wrath of iran with explosive addressed to the un general assembly. in the meantime here on r t dozens of students have been shot dead by islamist militants in nigeria who stormed a dormitory early on sunday morning and just started killing people the government are believed to be from the terrorist second boko haram recently stepped up its attacks on civilians and this latest incident showing the scale of terror engulfing africa coming shortly after the deadly shopping mall attack in kenya johnson the founder of the viewpoint africa website explained why the continent has become a hub for terrorist cells. all these groups are all joined together but

recently the ministry of internal affairs of russia declared that they're going to drastically increase operations in and around the moscow subway system with a major emphasis on illegal immigration there is an odd paradox when people talk about dealing with illegal immigration in terms of what the police should do people want the police to deal with it but any means of trying to actually do anything or generally taboo any form of asking people to see ideas viewed as an invasion of privacy or racial profiling well i don't know how exactly anyone can prove they are or aren't a citizen without id. and if you're looking for people who are forward and thus different then how can you go about looking for illegals without looking for people who are different profiling if they were looking for a criminal of slavic origin in uganda when the police be wrong to stop me due to standing out from the crowd i don't think so that's not racial profiling it is just common sense obviously it is best to fight the causes of illegal immigration rather
1:28 am
than asking for id in moscow subways but they have to do something so i guess id checks are here to stay but there's a big difference between looking at someone's passport and doing stop and frisk or involuntary blood and urine tests that is what immigration control goes over the line but that's just my opinion.
