During the meeting between the UN chief and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the latter accused Iran of "turning Syria into a base of military
entrenchment" and using Syria and Lebanon "as waterfronts against its declared
goal to eradicate Israel."
Netanyahu said that Iran is building production sites of precision-guided missiles in both Syria and Lebanon to use them against Israel.
"This is something Israel cannot accept. This is something the UN should not accept," Netanyahu said.
Speaking at a joint press conference, Netanyahu also slammed the UN for allowing "Palestinian hatred speech to flourish in its institutions."
He said the UN has failed to fulfill its peace mandate when it comes to Israel because of "anti-Israel" resolution it took, addressing specifically to
resolutions by the UN's cultural agency, UNESCO Nike Air Jordan Retro For Sale , which "absurdly denies" the ties between the Jewish people and Jerusalem.
Guterres, who is on his first visit to the region since taking office in January, responded to Netanyahu by saying that he will "do everything in his
capacity" to ensure UNIFIL, the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon, fulfills its
obligations.
"I understand the security concerns of Israel," said the UN chief. "And I repeat that the idea or the intention or the will to destroy the State of Israel
is something totally unacceptable from my perspective."
Later NIke Air Jordan Shoes For Sale , Guterres met with Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who warned that Israel will not stand still in the wake of Iranian
military presence near Israel's northern border.
"This is unacceptable and we are determined to prevent any threat to the security of the citizens of Israel," Lieberman said.
Guterres kicked off his three-day trip to Israel and the Palestinian National Authority with a visit to Yad Vashem, Israel's official Holocaust memorial
museum, where he laid a wreath to honor the Jewish victims of the Nazis. He
cautioned that antisemitism is still "alive and well" nowadays and vowed to
combat all forms of racism.
On Tuesday, he is expected to meet Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah in the West Bank. On Wednesday Nike Air Jordan For Sale , he is scheduled to travel to the Gaza Strip, where a ten-year blockade imposed by Israel has brought the Palestinian enclave to a
humanitarian crisis.

BEIJING Nike Jordan Retero Shoes For Sale , Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Five-year-old Peng Xiaoyi has never met his English teacher in person. While he sits in front of a computer in his home
in Beijing, this teacher is thousands of kilometers away in the United States
Peng, who is in his second year of kindergarten in northwest Beijing, takes online English classes after school, which are taught by teachers based in the
United States and Canada.
"The American teachers are fun," he said. "I like them a lot."
Even after taking just a handful of classes Nike Jordan Retro For Sale , he has become more confident in speaking English and developed a habit of preparing and reviewing the lessons, according to his
mother Li Juan.
"It is good for him to take American-style classes," said Li, a civil servant. "This is a new experience for him and he doesn't even have to leave
China."
Thanks to the development of the Internet across China, online education has become increasingly popular in the country of 1.3 billion people.
VIPKID, the platform that runs Peng's classes Nike Jordan Shoes For Sale , has over 200,000 registered students in China and more than 24,000 teachers in the North American region.
Mi Wenjuan, founder of VIPKID, told Xinhua that she hopes to change the way Chinese children learn English and offer them opportunities to experience native
English teaching styles, which are very different to how English is taught in
Chinese schools.
"One of the major challenges we have face is parents accepting the concept of online learning Nike Jordan For Sale ," she said. "We have to continuously offer high-level teaching and technical support."
Data from the China Internet Network Information Center showed that 144 million Chinese have undertaken online education as of June this year, 4.8
percent higher than the number by the end of 2016.
"Compared with traditional after school classes, online courses are convenient and efficient," said Li Juan. "They are also less expensive because
no venues are needed."
He Tingting, a teacher working for online education platform "Qingqingjiajiao", said an online teacher usually teaches one-on-one or in small
groups while traditional after school classes have one teacher for 30 to 40
students.
"Online teachers use powerpoints to assist our teaching Air Jordan Retro Shoes For Sale ," said He. "They are more attractive to students, particularly for younger children."
However, He said online teachers have to work harder to make their voices and facial expressions more engaging in order to hold students' attention. "Reliable
Internet connections are also very important to ensure the courses go smoothly."
Online education has become increasingly known to Chinese in recent years, particularly since 2013 when MOOC, short for massive open online courses,
entered China in cooperation with universities and websites.
In the last couple of years Air Jordan Retro For Sale , capital inflow from investors helped online education fir. ?
