Ahmadinejad speech triggers UN walkout

Thursday, 24 September 2009

A number of delegates staged a walk-out during an address to the UN General Assembly last night by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The outspoken politician used the occasion to launch a scathing attack on Israel over its treatment of the Palestinians.

He accused the country of genocide, barbarism and racism.

Mr Ahmadinejad also said some of the Obama administration's policies were not fundamentally different from those of George W Bush.

When he finished, he was given a loud round of applause by many of the delegates who remained in the chamber.

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

• Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
