So the solution is to put dogs in every airport, and train station and one on every bus, plane and train. Israel needs to become the biggest dog owning and dog using nation in the world. Imagine an Israeli border with little catapults on it to toss the dog waste over the border into Palestine. Imagine the Shabaa Farms kennels, every border patrol with a pack of dogs protecting them from the evil Muslim......Every crossing into Israel guarded by more dogs than people

Iran 'steps up nuclear programme'
Iran has reportedly taken another step in its uranium enrichment programme, in defiance of international pressure.
It has activated a second set of centrifuges - the machines used to enrich uranium - the semi-official Isna agency has said.

A BBC correspondent says Iran would need tens of thousands of centrifuges to make industrial-scale nuclear fuel.

The UN Security Council is to debate sanctions after Iran failed to meet an August deadline to stop enrichment.

Iran has not convinced the US and other Western states that its enrichment work is only aimed at generating electricity, and not acquiring nuclear weapons.

There is no doubt that the use of the second cascade of centrifuges will be seen as an act of defiance by the international community at what is a sensitive time, the BBC's Frances Harrison reports from Tehran.

'No secret'

The Iranian report suggested that scientists had injected gas into the second cascade.

Isna quoted its unnamed source as saying the second cascade's "product" had been obtained.

The source said the second cascade had been installed two weeks ago with the knowledge of UN nuclear inspectors.

"The International Atomic Energy Agency has been fully aware of the issue and the inspectors are present in Iran," the source said.

Iran's first cascade, consisting of 168 centrifuges, produced a small quantity of enriched uranium in February.

Iran has said it plans to install 3,000 centrifuges at its nuclear site in Natanz by the end of this year.

Riots haunt Parisians a year on
At least 500 people have marched silently through a suburb of Paris in memory of two teenage boys whose deaths a year ago sparked riots across France.
The crowd in Clichy-sous-Bois held a banner saying the two youths from immigrant families "died for nothing".

Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy ordered police to step up security on buses, after several were hijacked and set ablaze ahead of the anniversary.

Violence engulfed Clichy-sous-Bois and several other suburbs in late 2005.

The families of the two dead youths laid wreaths at the electricity sub-station where they were electrocuted. There has been dispute over whether they were running from police at the time.

A monument to the boys, Bouna Traore and Zyed Benna, was unveiled in Clichy-sous-Bois and the local mayor appealed for calm.

"Last year we crossed Clichy by weaving between the burnt-out wrecks of cars, creating an image of our city that we didn't want to see," said mayor Claude Dillain, quoted by the Associated Press.

"Once again France, and even the world, is watching us and waiting to see what we do. So I appeal solemnly for calm and dignity to prevail here."

Youths in Clichy-sous-Bois and other bleak suburbs on the edge of Paris told the BBC News website that the authorities should do more to tackle racial discrimination and high unemployment.

This time last year clashes erupted between youths of mainly North African origin and police in suburbs throughout France. In three weeks of violence more than 10,000 cars were set ablaze and 300 buildings firebombed.

'No publicity'

Mr Sarkozy, a conservative tipped to run for the presidency next year, said the authorities would "do everything possible to ensure that public services are not disrupted anywhere".

He said the media should act responsibly in reporting on the anniversary of last year's violence, to avert "copycat" crimes.

"We should not give any publicity to people who want nothing else," he said.

A security services report leaked to a French newspaper this week said that the conditions that led to last year's riots were still in place.

Law and order has become a major issue, with presidential elections due next April. Candidates from the two biggest parties have promised a tough approach to crime.
