World leaders speak at the 81st United Nations General Assembly. A major talking point from the day included world leaders and delegates from various nations walking out in protest when Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took to the stage for his speech. Addressing the delegates who remained in the hall, Netanyahu took a jibe at those who had left and said, "Before I begin, just a quick announcement: if there are any other moral cowards who haven’t yet left this hall, please do so now. Thank you very much." (Pic/AFP)
