GENEVA (CBS/AP) Roman Polanski, whose absence at the Venice and Toronto Film festivals  was duly noticed, will be one of the stars of this year’s Zurich Film Festival. Polanski will accept the festival’s lifetime achievement award that he was unable to pick up two years ago after being arrested at Zurich airport. Photos: Sean PennPhotos: “Carnage” at Venice After months of imprisonment and house arrest, the Polish-French director successfully avoided extradition to the United States on charges of having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977. He has been able to travel unhindered to Switzerland since. However, he steers clear of countries like Canada and 온라인카지노 Italy that have extradition agreements with the United States. Polanski’s “Carnage” was a hit at Venice. The movie, based on the Tony-winning Broadway play “God of Carnage,” stars Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, John C. Reilly and Jodie Foster. Also to be honored in Zurich is actor Sean Penn, who is to receive the festival’s Golden Icon Award for his lifetime achievement as an actor, director and producer.

Updated at 2:05 p.m. ET (CBS/AP) UNITED NATIONS – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is making his case against Iran before the United Nations General Assembly, arguing that time is quickly running out to stop the Islamic Republic from becoming a nuclear power and the threat of force must be seriously considered. “At this late hour, there is only one way to peacefully prevent Iran from getting atomic bombs, and that is by placing a clear red line on Iran’s nuclear weapons program,” Netanyahu said. His demand that President Obama declare red lines that would trigger an American attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities has been rejected in Washington and sparked a public rift between the two leaders. But Netanyahu said at U.N. headquarters Thursday that nothing could imperil the world more than a nuclear-armed Iran. “To understand what the world would be like with a nuclear-armed Iran, just imagine a world with a nuclear-armed al Qaeda,” Netanyahu said. At the beginning of his address Thursday, he disputed Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s statement from earlier in the week that Israel has “no roots” in the Middle East. Netanyahu told the gathered world leaders and diplomats: “The Jewish people have come home. We will never be uprooted again.” During his three-day visit, Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, Canadian Prime Minister...

The woman, 28, who has been arrested on five counts of manslaughter, made a “comprehensive confession” to the killings after turning herself in as a six-year investigation closed in on her, said Ulrike Stahlmann-Liebelt, the head prosecutor 바카라사이트 in Flensburg, on Germany’s border with Denmark. Stahlmann-Liebelt said the woman, whose name was not released in accordance with German privacy laws, has two living children, aged 8 and 10. But then in 2006 she began hiding her pregnancies, staying away from doctors and hospitals and killing the infants after giving birth to two at home and three in the woods, she said. “She had the impression her husband would leave her if she had any more children, and that’s why she didn’t tell anyone she was pregnant, including her husband,” Stahlmann-Liebelt said. “She has said that the family lived at a certain level of prosperity, that it was clear her husband did not want any more children, and that one reason was to preserve this standard, and she feared that might be endangered if another child were there.” The husband has told...
