On September 27, 2012, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin (Bibi) Netanyahu addressed the General Assembly of the United Nations. He spoke about the danger Iran poses to the world, and Radical Islam. Netanyahu presented the danger radical Islam, and Iran pose to the world. Netanyahu clearly presented the Jewish claim to the land of Israel. Netanyahu asked for a redline before Iran completes Stage 2 of the uranium enrichment process and made the case to the world on a chart with a drawing of a bomb on it that the entire Western world faces danger if Iran succeeds.

Netanyahu presented the danger radical Islam, and Iran pose to the world. Netanyahu clearly presented the Jewish claim to the land of Israel. Netanyahu asked for a redline before Iran completes Stage 2 of the uranium enrichment process and made the case to the world on a chart with a drawing of a bomb on it that the entire Western world faces danger if Iran succeeds.

The trial of former Bosnian Serb politician Radovan Karadzic has begun at the Hague. He faces a genocide charge for his alleged role in a massacre in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica in July 1995, when Bosnian Serb troops killed almost 8000 Muslim men and boys and dumped their bodies into mass graves. Karadzic also faces charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity for actions allegedly committed during the break up of Yugoslavia between 1992 and 1995. A trained psychiatrist, Karadzic spent thirteen years on the run. When he was finally arrested in Belgrade in 2008, he was working as a doctor of alternative medicine. He says he plans to call 300 witnesses to testify in the 300 hours given to him by the court for his defence. Nick Spicer is at The Hague in The Netherlands with more details.

Ex Chief Former Military Chiefs Face Lobbying Ban Ex-military chiefs may be barred from contact with ministers and Ministry of Defence officials after several were secretly filmed claiming to be able to help secure deals for arms firms. At least one of the six top figures filmed by The Sunday Times was still subject to the two-year lobbying ban imposed on former military personnel leaving public service, Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said. The rules state they cannot become involved in any activity which might be helped by their previous role for those two years. Reporters posed as representatives of arms firms and arranged meetings with former top military figures and recorded them offering their influence and contacts with ministers and in return for six-figure sums. Mr Hammond said any breaches of the lobbying rules would be investigated. Philip Hammond on The Andrew Marr Show Mr Hammond said an investigation will be launched He also said the revelations were "deeply damaging to the individuals concerned and their reputations" but insisted there was "no way that retired officers influence the way that military equipment is procured". Instead, he said those filmed were "rather bigging up their capabilities" and showing "bravado" to impress. But the rules appeared to have been broken and may need tougher enforcement, Mr Hammond said. "There are many, many reasons why it is sensible for the MoD to maintain contact with retired officers," he told BBC1's Andrew Marr Show <b>...</b>

Uploaded by Antonis Ashiotis: www.facebook.com August 19, 2012 By Michelle Faul - Associated Press www.freep.com JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- Miners and their families welcomed expelled politician Julius Malema on Saturday as he told the thousands who gathered at the site where 34 miners were killed last week that South African police had no right to fire the live bullets that killed them. Malema, the former youth leader of the governing African National Congress, arrived as family members continued to hunt for loved ones missing since Thursday's shootings. Women said they did not know whether their husbands and sons were among the dead, or among the 78 wounded or about 256 arrested by police on charges from public violence to murder. "They had no right to shoot," Malema said, even if the miners had opened fire first. Malema is the first politician to address the miners at the site during a more than weeklong saga in which 10 people were killed before Thursday's shootings -- including two police officers butchered to death and two mine security guards whom strikers burned alive in their vehicle. He said he had come because the government had turned its back on the strikers. Strikers complained earlier that President Jacob Zuma had not come to hear their side of the story when he flew to the Marikana platinum mine on Friday, cutting short his part in a summit in neighboring Mozambique so that he could visit wounded miners in the hospital.
