9:39 pm
time of the genocide in 1904 under a u.n. mandate now in this legal action the human rights groups accused the french forces of complicity in the genocide of crimes against humanity because they said that those french forces had basically failed to protect thousands of tutsis who had been hiding who had fled to the hills around the business arab village in the west of the country in fact this legal action actually said that french forces abandoned the area for 3 days effectively allowing hutu led militia to come into the area and massacre thousands of people now all of the paris prosecutor has said is that there isn't enough evidence in his opinion to continue with this case now it may still be taken up by the investigating magistrate but it does seem that that is unlikely in the case is effectively dropped. british unionists marking 100 years since the creation of northern ireland for nationalists though

9:41 pm
surveillance from above this isn't only to mark a 100 years since the birth of northern ireland it's aimed at the political classes hope the protestant church. perhaps. it's a call for a return to the sort of hardline thinking of the late reverend ian paisley a firebrand preacher who founded the democratic unionist party that you. have given and year after year. want to keep on going and. the need the need there needs to be any structure rappers out of the working class people and tend to step down that's one of the reasons for the ousting of arlene foster 1st minister and do you prefer leader she may be replaced by evangelist edwin poots sitting beside her here he's a minister who. blame catholics for spreading kovi. in west belfast republicans

9:43 pm
beginning in san francisco an outcome that could have repercussions throughout the whole mobile tech world epic is trying to ultimately break the i phone makers grip on its store it accuses apple of abusing the app store monopoly and charging too much in commissions of course denies that the dispute began last august it's all about the video game fortnight epic is the developer of damon accused apple of charging high fees for having its game on the app store every games then updated fortnight to allow users to make payments directly through the game circumventing the need to use online stores within hours of the move apple and google play which was also affected by the update remove the game fortnight from their stores apple says there is no room for negotiation we've got fried with our star chief technology correspondent for access joining us from san francisco nice to have you with us you know what's your initial take is this court case begins
9:44 pm
about who's got the upper hand if either side does. well i listen to the arguments for both side and they're the same arguments that they've been making all along interesting lee there isn't a lot of disputes about the facts of the case the timeframe you laid out is exactly what happened really the question is a question of law of whether apple can do what it does which is to say if you want to have an app on the app store and if you want to sell digital goods or services you have to use our payment mechanism apple says it should be within its rights to do that epic says we should be able to offer an alternative payments and despite all the smoke and mirrors at the end of the day most of the case boils down to that no i do think that. i'm sorry go ahead well i'm just thinking that is apple's prerogative isn't it i mean i think about the same things with twitter and facebook if you don't like their terms and conditions then you're not under any obligation to use it well that's certainly the case that apple is making is saying look

there's plenty of competition when it comes to where you want to play games when people buy an i phone they're choosing our way of doing business and if they don't want to do our business this way they can go to an x. box or a play station or a p.c. or an end droid phone epic is saying no that the market in question here really should be the i o. s. market and we should be able to deliver services to the i phone using our own payments now i will say that most legal experts think that epic has an uphill fight in this that apple probably has stronger legal ground but apple has more risk to epic isn't suing for money here to fundamentally change the way apple does business what about from ethics position i mean i mentioned there that fortnight got removed from the app store on the google play store so. can it still be played easily forgive me i'm not up on fortnight i know it was big with my my daughter's friends at school and all of bad it was very popular but can it still be easily accessed.
9:46 pm
so it can be accessed for any less though it can't be played on the i phone right now because the only way to get games or apps is through apple and google on android you can side load it meaning not using the app store but downloading it another way that's not an option on apple and then of course you can play for tonight all kinds of other places on a p.c. on attack on. windows on all the game consoles. i just wanted to get up to date with that and i had such tell me then if we broaden this out a little bit what this case can potentially main for smaller players and i think games is obviously a big player here but if you're a small app developer. how closely you going to be watching this i think everyone began small that sells stuff through apple in even through google is really going to be watching this closely because again they were epic to prevail eventually and this would probably go through the appeals courts it would fundamentally reshape the way business is done now i do think that already small developers have
9:47 pm
benefited in that apple amid all this scrutiny not just from epic but also from regulators is after chile offering smaller app developers a deal where the commission is cut when they're making less than a $1000000.00 a year in revenue and afraid always a pleasure to talk to you thank you for your time thank you. now a leaked report into the death of argentine football legend diego maradona has found his medical team acted in this is a quote inappropriate deficient and reckless manner his death at the age of 60 from heart failure last year shocked the adoring fans in argentina prompted national mourning as well and prosecutors then launched investigations into his medical team after accusations of negligence police raided the home of his personal doctor who denied any wrongdoing the report says marijuana became seriously unwell 12 hours before his death and was not properly monitored by medics before his heart attack.
9:48 pm
cyrus faurisson says maradona's family are calling for an investigation themselves even though. the n.f.l. for from. drugs and alcohol and other illnesses what his family if there was something out of something else happened that led to his death and that's why they requested an investigation and that's why prosecutors requested and created a board of 20 doctors an expert to investigate going to help and to investigate how many killed team proceeded what we know is that in the feds medical report where they are saying is that my other half effort for 12 hours prior to his death that he agonized lack mental faculties in order to decide what what was happening to him and to decide what needed to be done to him at all for that had he been in a hospital life could have been saved and this is important because. doctors had
9:49 pm
been requested his medical team for him to be hospitalized and his medical team did not want that to happen in fact and from audio recordings that appeared in this during this investigation you can hear his lawyers and his doctors saying that but i don't i needed to stay in a house and not taking to a hospital because jobs where at risk and that's why. but i don't know if doctors are saying that while taking care of him economic interests were much more important that the enough well being and overall before reports that they're with negative end of their what's reckless now and that it might i don't know was not well taken care of prior to his death. and there is more sport on the way with sun as the indian premier league is now a new coronavirus cases recorded amongst the players.
