  • This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.

  • I'm Nick Miles and at 16 Hours GMT on Friday the 26th of September, these are our main stories.

  • The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells the UN General Assembly that recognition of Palestine is disgraceful and denied accusations of genocide.

  • Would a country committing genocide plead with a civilian population it is supposedly targeting to get out of harm's way?

  • What did the Nazis ask the Jews to leave, kindly leave, go out?

  • Delegates in New York discuss a plan for an interim government in Gaza,

  • which could be led by the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

  • How young Ukrainian soldiers are learning leadership skills at a British university.

  • Also in this podcast,

  • more than 200 suspected cyber scammers in Africa are arrested and a new production of Romeo and Juliet,

  • but with a linguistic twist.

  • The appearance of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the UN General Assembly was always going to be one of the most controversial parts of a week of many speeches.

  • And so it has proved to be.

  • Many of the delegates in the hall in New York walked out just as the Israeli Premier was about to begin speaking.

  • Please order in the hall.

  • Shortly afterwards, Mr Netanyahu walked up to the lectern and spoke for more than half an hour.

  • It was broadcast not only in the assembly hall,

  • but also tellingly on loudspeakers across parts of Gaza.

  • Mr Netanyahu wrapped up his speech shortly before we recorded this podcast.

  • Here's a flavor of what he said.
