mr. netanyahu: you should invest in israel. david: any specific tips? mr. tanyahu: somebody asked me that. right after i came into the finance ministry. we were in a big crisis because of the intefadeh. we had violence. you know, obviously it hurt. our economy was actually shrinking. this is 2003. and i certainly thought that was the contributing factor but i didn't think it was the factor because i thought it was the bureaucratic centralized control of our economy preventing its growth. so i met with a group of investors. and this was about two weeks into my term. as finance minister. that's all i could get was six or seven investors first in jerusalem and then london. they said, why should we invest here? everything is shrinking, collapsing. and i said, well, here's what i'm going to do. and i described to them all of these reforms basically. cutting the public sector, reducing tax rates, reducing the hurdles of the competition and so on. just everything. reforming welfare. and to hear this, in about 10 minutes into my discussion they said, well maybe this

now mr trump is having a, rather mr netanyahu is having a, rather mr netanyahu is having a, rather mrone. president trump does decide to go with benjamin netanyahu as to present micron, what impact could this have on negotiations over north korea and asking them to get rid of their nuclear weapons?” korea and asking them to get rid of their nuclear weapons? i think the problem is, you could argue it both ways. some people will say, how can the americans renege on an agreement with one country, iran, and then expect another country, north korea, to enter into an agreement with them in good faith? 0ther to enter into an agreement with them in good faith? other people have said the two are very different situations and that in a way, north korea, by being much more aggressive, by developing its own nuclear programme to the point in which it has weapons that it claims can reach continental united states, has given it a much stronger hand in the negotiations and so the north korean and the iranians situations are not comparable. i think you're quite right, on the face of it, it isa quite r

mr. netanyahu was insistent that israel's proof was irrefutable. pm netanyahu: iran lied about never having a nuclear weapons program. 100,000 secr files proof that they lied. second, even after the deal, c irtinued to preserve and expand its nuclear weapons knowhow for future use. why would a terrorist regime hide and meticulously catalogue f its secret nuclear filest to use them at a later date? jane: president trump has about two more weeks to decide whether to sck with the nuclear deal at the white house today he said he was still making up his mind. president trp: they are not sitting back idly. ey're setting off missiles which they say are for television purposes. i don't think so. so we will see what happens. i'm not telling you what i'm doing, but a lot of people think they know. and on or before the 12th, well ake a decision. that doesn't mean we won't negotiate a real agreement. jane:lo for more on the o for the iran nuclear deal, i spoke earlier with zalmay khalilzad, former ambassador to the united nations. first of all, how credible do

well that's at least what mr netanyahu says he doesn't give us who where this exactly comes from me talks about this is what the israeli intelligence shared with us counterparts i mean if you sum it up he says basically that the iranian nuclear deal is based on lies and that's what he has in his eyes proven tonight i mean it's a classic netanyahu he came with his props but it's a very serious continence very serious accusations against iran saying that they hadn't lied about having actually nuclear pursuing a nuclear weapons missile had nuclear weapons misato heads and old nuclear deal the world is talking about is based on lies oh right now that is the operative word indeed taniela lies and lies i mean it was big on the screen he reiterated numerous times during his presentation that was the operative word iran is deceptive. who can vouch for the authenticity of these documents and of the claims being made in this presentation. i think it's too early to say we have to wait and see and i think what is now of course the question is how will the rain ians react to this what is i mean the ai

allegations already dealt with by the international atomic energy agency, with iranian state tv accusing mr netanyahupaganda. britain‘s second— and third—biggest supermarkets, sainsbury‘s and asda, have confirmed they are to merge. management says the deal would benefit both shareholders and customers. they also promised that no stores would close. the deal, worth £10 billion pounds, needs approval from the competition and markets authority before it can go ahead. our business editor simon jack takes a closer look. lower prices for everyday items — that is the promise on offer to customers of both sainsbury‘s and asda, as they laid out their plans for one of the biggest retail mergers in decades. the prospective boss of the new giant said its increased buying power would mean a better deal for customers. ultimately, we'll pass those benefits back to our customers, in the form of lower prices, and what we're talking about today is that we'd expect the price of everyday items, not all items, but everyday items, in the round to fall by 10%, and that's what we would aim to do. a combination of the second

reaction i guess a lot of people are just waiting to see you know how credible the evidence that mr netanyahu presented really is before making judgments but people have noted the students that after this the pump aoe was in the middle east and the israeli prime minister went forward mates this announcement in a special appearance on israeli t.v. one interesting point i just read reports as told to the american defense minister general mattis and apparently he met the israeli defense minister last week on thursday and mattis apparently told reporters that he had not discussed iran with his israeli defense minister and also apparently had not been told about this new evidence is allegedly you evidence so that's quite interesting a lot of experts just like to gallup just said has pointed out that a lot of the stuff that president prime minister netanyahu talked about is old news from the time before the iran nuclear deal was signed and also you know picking up a what daniel had mentioned was the intention of this revelation today jim pressure the u.s. president to kill the nuclear deal on may t

to understand what we can take from mr netanyahu's presentation, donald trump will decide whether americaaq to fight the iran nuclear deal, we heard from the president earlier —— continue the >> studio: we will see what happens, i won't tell you what i'm doing, but many people think they know. we will make a decision before the 12, but that doesn't mean we will not negotiate a new deal. the israelis know this is the time to apply pressure on the trump administration. benjamin netanyahu trump administration. benjamin neta nyahu has opposed trump administration. benjamin netanyahu has opposed the nuclear deal ever since it was created, and it has been music to his is to hear donald trump saying it was a terrible deal, something benjamin netanyahu terrible deal, something benjamin neta nyahu had always terrible deal, something benjamin netanyahu had always said. so we come to a crunch moment where donald trump will decide whether to withdraw the us on the agreement, to reimpose nuclear sanctions on iran, and clearly the israelis and benjamin netanyahu want that to happen but there has been a

mr. netanyahu just gave it acceptablet an situation. idly.re not sitting back they are sending off missiles which they say are for television purposes. we will see. i'm not telling you what i'm doing. on or before the 12th, we will make a decision. this is an agreement that was many people and it is horrible for the united states, including the fact that iran $150 billion and $1.8 billion in cash. nigeria would like some of that. do you know what we got? nothing. that doesn't mean i would not negotiate a new agreement. we will see what happens. what is happening today and ove rthr the last little while has shown that i've been 100% right. you're thet buhari, first leader from sub-saharan africa to visit president trump at the white house. did you address his comments from earlier this year when he reportedly used older language to describe african nations? whatam really careful with the press says about others. the validityabout allegation was true or not. the best thing for me is to keep quiet. pres. trump: we didn't discuss it. you do

mr netanyahu and his theatrical way has put a contrary view.perts, those who believed for all of its faults, the deal is the best thing possible at the moment. it is looking as though mrtrump may the moment. it is looking as though mr trump may follow the line taken by the israeli prime minister. we're just saying some breaking news saying that donald trump and the french president has spoken about syria and iran. just as you mention, donald trump is deciding whether or not to give his backing for this deal to continue. this intervention by president netanyahu could be significant, but it was not —— it was not an extraordinary presentation. it looked very old—fashioned. we see him unveiling these files. we saw him unveiling these files. we saw him unveiling the files. how credible is this? as isaid, it the files. how credible is this? as i said, it is not clear what is new here. certainly iran always insisted it did not have a nuclear weapon programme. we think —— i think serious experts on the subject believe that they did but it stopped some

mr. netanyahu's arguments. >> isaac, the other big issue here today obviously is north korea. that came up here as well. president making a couple of arguments there. at one point he seemed to connect -- he was asked about this -- he seemed to connect the status of the iran deal and potential of the united states to pull out of that to the north korean negotiations. he with a basically asked how could north korea -- how could anybody over there trust the integrity of the deal if you're going to pull the united states out of another deal that it signed. he said actually i think that would make the case stronger. what effect do you think that would have if the united states were to pull out of this deal? >> i think the north koreans are very sophisticated at dividing what trump says publicly and the private messages they are getting from the white house and other people in the administration. the north koreans themselves are very, very good at saying all sorts of outrageous statements as a negotiating tactic, then privately having a very, very different perspective. so i don't a

so, everything that mr pompeo said there alongside mr netanyahu must have been to israel's delight?hu when prime minister benjamin neta nyahu spoke when prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke alongside mike pompeo he said their two countries had never been closer than they are now. that was no diplomatic nicety. what you see is the almost complete convergence of these two powerful allies with regard to the need in their view to confront the iranian threat, as they would see it. benjamin netanyahu threat, as they would see it. benjamin neta nyahu has threat, as they would see it. benjamin netanyahu has for years railed against iran, railed against the nuclear deal that the west signed with iran. he is delighted that president trump regards that deal almost as bleakly as he does. it's not only nuclear matters on his mind. israelis are concerned by the growing errani and influence beyond their northern border. you heard mike pompeo talking about the administration having a comprehensive strategy to confront the array of threats as it sees it from iran. as we mentioned, he came to isra
