1:07 pm
a corruption scandal that had already forced his vice chancellor heinz. to step down court said the interior minister would have to go to ensure an unbiased investigation into the scandal but with the freedom party not threatening to back the no confidence vote the future of course is conservative government is uncertain as we hear from our correspondent bob. chancellor sebastian course is now fighting for his political survival basically what he wants to do is continue with his government to elections in september he wants to just replace the ministers of the freedom party who stepped down collectively on monday by experts or high civil servants but it's not certain whether the opposition will allow that because during the course of this week courts will already be faced with a motion of no confidence and next week the vote could have meant parliament things are moving fast in vienna. it all depends on how the opposition is going to decide
1:08 pm
the freedom party has already said they want revenge against courts they are going to vote against him the question is here will the social democrats follow suit or will they think of future possible coalitions as austria has seen so many off between conservatives and social democrats all this is open and courts this future is quite undecided what the voters will make of all this is equally unclear during the european elections next sunday probably the consequences are not going to be that great the freedom party is likely to lose some votes of course bought in september where the course is going to continue being the young star of austrian politics is anybody's guess. that was you bob is reporting from vienna down let me bring you up to date but some other stories making news around the

1:12 pm
french media swooped as very best parents prepared for what was to be their final goodbye with their son resulted that killing him that killing him that monster's. they'd for a long battle to prevent this happening. but not everyone in the family shares their view and some were clearly relieved lesson i've said this is the 1st time i've told myself it's going to happen and everything is being done to make it happen so i'm quite serene and ready for it to end. doctors began shutting down 42 year old van solong bales life support but the battle wasn't over yet a paris court even ordered doctors to resume treatment it's the latest episode in a bitter legal battle that's divided lamberti family since the 2008 motorcycle accident left him in a state of minimal consciousness doctors say his condition has deteriorated and that for years now he's been in a persistent vegetative state llambias wife rochelle his nephew and several

siblings back to 2013 decision by his doctors to end life support his parents and 2 of the siblings opposed it long best parents have brought and lost cases before french courts and the european court of human rights in repeated efforts to prevent his life support being ended earlier this month the united nations committee on the rights of persons with disabilities requested that french authorities suspend the decision to take him off life support while it examine the case monday's like decision from the paris appeal court ordered care to be continued until the united nations committee could consider an appeal from llambias parents. and family on the case i'm joined by our correspondent louis embarrassed he said of this case has already been all the way to the european court of justice which ruled in favor of the wife's position that he should be allowed to die now the united
1:14 pm
nations has got involved but does the u.n. had any legal jurisdiction. well that's the big question really and people here are divided on that the 1st french court said no it's not legally binding and the french government seems to think that as well but now another french court has said yes you have to wait for the decision so what's happening really is that this committee is now has now 6 months to look into the case of vanstone there and then emit an opinion and apparently legal experts aren't actually don't agree on if the government and the the doctors in charge of france all know about need to follow these instructions for now though they have to wait until further notice but as we saw in the report there the long bears mother is calling doctors monsters and accusing them of killing her son clearly the family is very divided but what about the medical opinion in france
1:15 pm
while a team of doctors taking care of him obviously seem to think that there is no hope and that he will die one day and that they need to switch him off so that he doesn't suffer anymore however there is a group of doctors several dozens of doctors who have published an op ed yesterday saying that they don't agree these doctors are specialized and in these cases of so-called people who are locked in who are who are in a vegetative state for a very long time and they say it's just impossible to know what vance on the really wants and also if he is not dying you just need to give him food and water but he's rather a disabled person and many other people here in france are in the same state about 1700 and we don't know what they want so we shouldn't make the decision for them and this case has dripped of the french public is dominating media headlines why do
1:16 pm
you think this is the case. well as you said it's a very emotional case it's splitting a family into 2 you and also dividing public opinion but there's also one other thing which is somehow specific to france so the decision in this very emblematic case that has been going on for more than 10 years will certainly have an impact on other cases because here when there is one such emblematic decision other judges look that way and then are more inclined to go the same way and to make a similar decision and that's obviously what many others of the families of these 1700 other people in such a permanent vegetative state are afraid of right iliza loose in battles thank you very much indonesia's joke of revealed who has declared victory in his presidential bid after official election results was released a day ahead of shed you but the dodos challenger has refused to concede

a strong support from the other across from an activist muslim communities. that's one of the possibilities you can use and the other one is through the constitutional court he's going to have. he's going to challenge the election result in the constitutional court and that so far has proven ineffective in previous instances like in the previous elections in 2014 but those are used to main ways of approach this issue and so far no one knows if he can actually have a good. case but has to be any doubt about the fairness of these elections. i couldn't hear the question now is there any doubt about the fairness of these elections it wasn't he a man with a voting procedure in the country are the monitors certain that this was a fan feel action. yes. they looked through
