add video playlist Leaders from Europe, Africa and the Middle East will meet in Paris this weekend to launch the Mediterranean Union. The new body aims to strengthen ties between Europe and its southern neighbours. Many of those migrating to North Africa and Europe come from West and Central Africa. Their pursuit of a better life takes them on a dangerous journey north across the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea. They leave their home countries and travel to transit countries such as Mauritania, Mali and Niger. There, they begin their journey across desert borders to North Africa and then on to Europe. Al Jazeera's Casey Kauffman traveled to the northeast of Mali and met up with a group of migrants on the first leg of their journey across the Sahara.

Leaders from Europe, Africa and the Middle East will meet in Paris this weekend to launch the Mediterranean Union. The new body aims to strengthen ties between Europe and its southern neighbours. Many of those migrating to North Africa and Europe come from West and Central Africa. Their pursuit of a better life takes them on a dangerous journey north across the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea. They leave their home countries and travel to transit countries such as Mauritania, Mali and Niger. There, they begin their journey across desert borders to North Africa and then on to Europe. Al Jazeera's Casey Kauffman traveled to the northeast of Mali and met up with a group of migrants on the first leg of their journey across the Sahara.

For downloads and more information visit: www.journeyman.tv In a painstaking investigation, this report amassed compelling evidence to finally uncover the identity of Prisoner X, sending shock-waves around the world when it broke the story. A unique insight to the case. In early 2010 a man was escorted to arguably the most secure prison cell in Israel. The guards taking him there had no idea who he was or what he'd done. "It is simply a person without a name and without an identity who is placed in complete and absolute isolation from the outside world. There is confidentiality surrounding the detainee in every respect" a prison official stated. When word leaked about the mysterious inmate, Israeli media began to report and speculate but no sooner had a handful of stories been published, than the coverage was shut down by one of the most comprehensive suppression orders conceivable."Hermetically sealing him away in all human terms, even within the prison, suggests that it had to be something very, very touchy", Warren Reed, a former ASIS agent tells us. Prisoner X, or Ben Zygier, a Jewish-Australian citizen, may have been a Mossad agent. So why would the Israeli service make him disappear? Warren Reed reckons we may never find out: "I think this will probably be under lock and key for 50 to 75 years, if not never to be released." But as international pressure mounts, the Knesset has launched an inquiry. ABC Australia

Iran Not Seeking A Nuclear Weapon: Supreme Leader

  • Updated: 17 Feb 2013
Iran does not want nuclear weapons but if it did, no world power could prevent it from obtaining one, Iran's Supreme Leader said on Saturday (February 16), according to Iranian media. The United States and some of its Western allies suspect Iran may be trying to develop a nuclear weapons capability under the guise of a civilian atomic energy program, a charge Iran rejects. Iranian officials have said in the past that a religious decree by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei banning nuclear weapons is binding on the Islamic Republic, and Khamenei has repeatedly said Iran is not seeking an atomic bomb. "We believe nuclear arms must be eliminated and we don't want to build nuclear arms," Khamenei said on Saturday morning, in comments published by the Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA). "But if we did not believe this and decided to have nuclear arms, no power could stand in our way," he added. The United States, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany are due to meet Iran for talks in Kazakhstan on Feb. 26 to tackle a decade-old row that has already produced four rounds of UN sanctions against Iran. Separate talks between Iran and the UN nuclear watchdog agency this week failed to produce a deal on reviving an investigation into Iranian research that could be used to produce nuclear weapons. Israel, widely assumed to be the region's only nuclear-armed power, has said is ready to take military action to stop Iran developing a bomb, raising fears the stand-off could ...

The UN Security Council has issued a stern rebuke to North Korea over its third nuclear test - as it held an emergency meeting in response to the test, which was in defiance of international regulations. The organisation says it plans to beef-up the sanctions already in place for the country's previous atomic exercises. China was among those who criticised North Korea's nuclear test. However, war correspondent and columnist Eric Margolis thinks the relations between the two allies are unlikely to sour.
