Shamir emerged from talks with US President, George Bush saying there is no deal at the expense of Israel and Israel will not attack Iraq on its own. A new UN Security Council resolution is critical of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians. Nick Peters reports. Audio quality poor and levels unstable.
