United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon met with students at the UN headquarters in Jerusalem on Friday afternoon, and admitted that his organization was biased against Israel.

The normally mild-mannered official appeared to lose his temper, attacking newspaper reporters for what he said was unfair media coverage of his role - and his son's - in the controversial programme, and said the real scandal had been overlooked.
