No translation during Ahmadinejad speech at UN - New York 21 September 2010

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has addressed the General Assembly on the second day of the UN's millennium development goals summit.

But it is not what he said on Tuesday that has made the news but what happened during the simultaneous translation of his speech, which has caused controversy.

Right from the start, his speech was overshadowed by technical problems, as the president was heard saying: "there's no translation."

And these problems continued to cause confusion two minutes into his speech.

All this was followed by an ominous announcement: "The interpreters would like to state that they are reading from a written text translated into English." With that, the translation stopped altogether.

I was talking about how Lebanese people support him .. I wasn't talking about his own people. Anyway what you're saying is so weird because countries of south america, russians the chinese and the koreans support him .. as well as syria, lebanon and the people of iraq.

@BlackShadow2009 haha take a look at the Iranian people who are protesting against him and want him out ...take a look at how is killing his own people. The only people who are supporting him are well paid organized extreme radical religious supporters that's only achievement is destroying Lebanon & the Arab world. This is making Israel stronger than ever before. Intellectual people are against him people who understand politics are against him he is just a slave to the commander Israel
