a vegetative state. by their good morning life marty's main studio h.q. here in moscow where it's just turned 80 and this saturday it's kevin irwin with the 30 but it will news update starting with this that google has been accused of listing a number of search terms on you tube in the run up to last year's landmark abortion referendum in ireland which saw the country's near total ban on the procedure overturned the allegation that the tech giant interfered in the vote sank at the country's pro-life supporters who are in fact playing to hold a big march in dublin later saturday. at the latest of this story. when you type are searched into you expect to see the most relevant results but how do you know that that search result hasn't been manipulated well according to recent revelations you don't in fact it's alleged that google which owns you tube. with

its you tube search results on the eve of the irish abortion referendum according to the project veritas investigative website google is alleged to have manipulated its algorithms and employed so-called black lists on you tube a leaked document shows terms such as save the 8000 pro-life were among those thought to be bolted to google isn't denying that it tweaks results of politically sensitive content on you tube by pushing what it deems to be the most credible videos above the ones with the most views we've been very public for a wide range of news and information queries we have the rhythms that are designed to surface authoritative content of all political viewpoints this helps prevent spam and conspiracy theories from surfacing prominently on our site in the midst of the irish referendum on abortion our systems abroad authoritative content to the

top of our search results for abortion related queries this happened for both pro-choice and pro-life queries there was no distinction pro-life groups aren't convinced by that statement it's that word or thora to vinh google statement that's causing concern catholic groups in particular say they want to know why it's enormous google employees who get to decide what is and isn't all thora to it if it's google's interference in the referendum in ireland i think is it should send a warning shot across every to everybody who was interested in democracy so what we saw here was a. google blacklisted videos and they deliberately and intentionally manipulation the kind of things that people would find when you push in search terms and here's the very obvious question i think that if this was all above board and if this was not serious then why did they hide this why we only learning about this because of

projects very tight because somebody in google decided that this was wrong and just to project their interest that's the only reason we noted that the pro-life camp only gone it 33 percent when the vote was held in may and abortion was then legalized denial and that issue has now been put to rest but the dispute over the way google cure rate say it's so much results isn't going away this is horrific what google has been doing and they really need to be held accountable i mean it's at the point now where they're now interfering with elections in other countries to hear that something like this is happening in ireland in a foreign country where a company in southern california the united states is dictating what gets what search results are seeing ireland to the people of ireland regarding their loss pacifically on things like abortion which is already a very contentious issue in the u.s.

throughout the globe is horrific google has absolutely no place to take part in political decisions or social decisions and to make sure that they all alone can tell which is the scene and which is not. the call to extend to the detention of an iranian oil turncoat by 2 weeks no through seized by british marines on the vessels believed to be the took them to smuggle oil to syria in violation of the u. sanctions that. the most of maritime piracy sure did with these but with latest. if you're brought to court has extended the detention of a tanker carrying a rainy an oil for 2 weeks it comes as the british royal marines seize the ship off the coast of japan alter on thursday for allegedly trying to take oil to syria in violation of the e.u. sanctions now the crew of the sea ship grace one being interviewed by officials and the ship is likely to remain impounded for several weeks now in retaliation and demands immediate release of the vessel and condemns what it sees as an illegal

detention tantamount to maritime piracy iranian foreign ministry official described the u.k. moves on acceptable and called for the immediate release of the oil tanker given that has been seized at the request of the u.s. the u.k. navy's measure is tantamount to maritime piracy britain has no right to impose its own unilateral sanctions all those of the european union in an extra territorial manner against the other countries this is the very bullying policy of the us britain's foreign office said it would not respond to every single comment about the incident that emerged from iran but it reiterated its position that the action came at the request of gibraltar to halt a better believed to be bound to syria which indeed violates sanctions this action the rose from information giving the gibraltar government reasonable grounds to believe that the vessel the grace one was acting in breach of european union sanctions against syria now the e.u. sanctions in place prevent syrian regime from importing oil and gibraltar said it

believed that grace one and its barrels of rain in oil were bound for syria however it's understood that iran has provided these documents to the u.k. proving that the vessel was transiting to a primitive destination although it didn't exactly specify where since then. and spain have become embroiled in a row about the seizure with madrid saying that grace one was intercepted because of a request from the u.s. to the u.k. . we have been aware of the operation civil guard petty. have been watching the area which were investigating the circumstances under which the u.s. had its petition to the u.k. well as well as spain a senior iranian foreign ministry official said that the united states had asked the u.k. to intercept the ship however just bolters government said in a statement that they acted independently on their own accord the decisions of her majesty's government of gibraltar would taken to do independently waste some breaches of existing law and not at all based on extraneous political

considerations meanwhile the seizure was held enthusiastically by a key member of the trumpet ministration excell news has the team the supertanker greece one laden with the reigning oil bomb for syria in violation of you sanctions american our allies will continue to prevent regimes into ran in damascus from profiting off this illicit trade so this latest round comes at a time of escalating tensions between the u.s. and iran and of course it follows the trumpet ministration previously pulling out of the 25th nuclear program a plus has reinforced panish ing sanctions against iran iran now says it's no longer bound by the agreement and will breach impose limits on your am stockpiles and that although it allies the its european allies including the u.k. have not followed suit in terms of pulling out to her on august the other sink that treats including france and germany and even the u.k. haven't done enough to keep the deal alive meanwhile other countries including russia have weighed in on the diplomatic row with russia's foreign ministry saying

that the seizure is an attempt to aggravate the situation around iran and syria and that the reaction from london and washington shows that the incident had been planned in advance. as well a professor of political science at the university of to run who says the seizure of the group is really part of a coordinated campaign. and we have to see this incident as part of the larger campaign to pressure iran every few weeks we are seeing major provocations by the americans what they're sending drones or warship towards iran and now this incident where the british are actually acting on behalf of the americans and we have to remember why because has been in the legal move by the british this is e.u. law it's not international law so what gives the british the right to see any iranian share based on european laws iran is not a member of the e.u. since the trump government decided to leave the nuclear accord the americans have

been pressuring iran's putting significant pressure on iran and iran has actually been acting in a very relatively cautious manner and we have to understand that you want to not shore we strained forever i mean moves such as this where iranian ships are being seized illegally they cannot it actually want iran to do nothing in return if you want does nothing in return then they will put more pressure and more pressure. time passed no mosco thomas morning next the teenage environmental activist griffith umberger shot to fame by spearheading the wave of student protests is drawing the ire of motorists in germany we can report because across the country been seems sporting offensive bumper stickers ridiculing her campaigning it seems doubtful the content will stop the 16 year old who of course already earned a nomination for a nobel peace prize other photos of paid a little cover of time magazine.

but we do or don't do right now i mean my generation can't undo you shoot everything needs to change. this fast start today. i i i i i i. we do people are looking up. to be honest we will not let soon get away with

thanks anymore. according to statistics indeed german people are eager to combat climate change over 70 percent or even said to support the abolition of short haul flights to try and better things majority would also be willing to pay more for meat products but the catch is apparently not for fuel curry the german car industry accounts for 20 percent of the country's industrial output and provides jobs for over $800000.00 people is the catch little commentator eric hemet told r.t. that efforts to target that sector won't prove popular in the country. so in germany medieval already the or there's something going on against especially if it's regarding their cars germs are concerned on the climate change is specially because really they start so all i mean most of the people who just follow the party off the problem around are. telling us that they

propose but now they realize they're us these enter your sessions one climate change. we're. sorry go with the restricting jobs in germany our industry and restraining people using their car and these 2 nurse where the germans are the 1st one who said well i don't believe we are out of the jar jar and our cars then too will climate change. this month rwanda 25 years since the end of the 1904 genocide and a change in the country's leadership while the countries are prospering it still faces a slew of challenges. a solemn anniversary for the troubled african nation of rwanda it's 25 years since one of the worst genocides of recent times piece of history.

when knox repeat. that is out on me to. everybody we forgive. but we do not want kogan. also known as the genocide against the ethnic tutsi in 1904 almost a 1000000 people were killed this escalation of the hutu president triggered the slaughter of some 70 percent of the tutsi population. quarter of a century on the more the deep scars remain something of a surprising transform ation amazingly rwanda's 29th in the world for ease of doing business ahead of spain france japan and china in terms of corruption similar remarkable progress in the top 50 head of italy or malta the country was even reg 5th safest in the world for walking at night with singapore topping the list no

surprise rwanda's called the singapore of africa and also now one of the cleanest places on earth when the countries is increasing its signal very nice in. true under still far from being a paradise it remains of relatively poor country and democracy is not entrenched the e.u. knows serious violations of civil and political rights in fact the west is locked in conflict with the white house slapping steep tariffs on the nation and a major row with europe's powerhouse germany but it's failed to stop rwanda's growth perhaps due in part to backing from another superpower china beijing's military even accompanied rwandan troops at this week's anniversary celebrations their performance today has gone beyond our expectations reaching the level we trained we are satisfied with their performance with the west apparently blocking

its path the small african nation may have found a different roadmap to success after affairs analyst lawrence freeman told us that rwanda's close ties to china are been massively beneficial for it. unfortunately i think the west is now really helping out from country by that comes from the heartbeat 100 mark christie when the west has done nothing nothing to actually promote infrastructure and economic development and it's a shameful at both the united states and other european countries it's only been in the last 10 or so years that and china that you ship or president xi jinping and they actually begun to build rare won't tell plants ports. where the previous 50 years nothing was done by western nations and that to me crews that are not that serious about the market see and that they use democracy as

a hammer to beat upon and being up and sometimes regime change in african nations. territory 17 so the morning moscow time after the break here out international the us state of kentucky is being terrorized by an invasion of black vultures but bombers powerless to fight we'll tell you what. they put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president. to going to be pros this is what will befall 3 of them can't be good. interested always in the water.

something. nothing wrong with it people work hard they make a lot of money and for a lot of people that's very satisfying but when you become a. monopolist and you are heading up like the pharmaceutical industry one or 2 or 3 major. collusion colluding monopolist and all of us pricing that's not right that's. good morning 90000 people have signed an open letter to the french president the calling out of mental mccrone to intervene in the case of vincent man whose life support systems are being switched off 10 years of crushed left him in

a vegetative state he comes off to france his highest court said last month that doctors could remove the 42 year old feeding tubes. since a motorbike accident in 2008 speed at the center of the right to die debate while euthanasia is illegal in france doctors are allowed to put terminally ill patients into a deep state of sedation instance mother has been fighting to save her son's life. i beg you to intervene to remind france of his obligation to respect the precautionary measures prescribed by the community and not to kill my son my son is the life of one soul than 1700 people who share this condition and that are threatened please help us. but since the parents are now unable to appeal the decision to switch off his life support with more details as. this could be the end of a complicated contradictory and absolutely heartbreaking case which has lost more than a decade in 2008 a traffic accident left vincent lumbered a french nurse in

a vegetative state his brain was unresponsive his body was paralyzed he could only be fed and hydrated artificially after a 5 year battle for his life the battle for his death has started when numerous medical exams stated vinson's semiconscious condition was irreversible the question arose for the 1st time should be vincent continue receiving life support assistance or not it's not a question that is easy or simple to answer and it has divided instance family his wife and 6 of his siblings wanted to let him die peacefully as they put it this is not the life vincent himself would want to leave opposing them were his parents arguing that vincent is simply a desirable person who does not fall under france's and of life legislation and that he should leave when the 2 sides failed to reach an agreement to dish

a marathon started that's resulted in vinson been off and back on life support 5 times after the ruling to stop artificial and tradition was confirmed by 5 different legal bodies including the european court for human rights we do rely on doctors of course and as a city vincent has speed in this state for 10 years so his chances of recovery let's be perfectly honest with you a route how much does he understand what quality of life does he have would you wish this sort of life on your worst enemy never mind the loved one when says mother was never ready to give up at one point she even released a video clips of vincent's crying in attempt to show that he does feel and he is aware. but brain specialists say that this is not necessarily the case as far as saying it's. not realizing what he's living.

normally should storm is mostly. they have nothing to do with emotions several more times the mother has tried to persuade the public and legislators that vincent should leave however every time she appealed him being taken off life support the plug was pulled anyway you know it's a crime that's all i am ashamed of france this monday been since mother made her very last plea she appeared at the un human rights council in geneva emotionally appealing for her son's life skills in rooms i'm sorry for being too emotional i'm crying knowledge of the top of my voice that this is the murder offense and that's the right word while we're not being listened to vincent is a human being he is not an object he's had has been held under water i agree to come here in the hope that we might be able to defend him but despite all the

efforts vincent was taken off of life support yet again the very next day. that's the end of this dispute there is no longer any plea that can be made that can suspend the discontinuation of care there's no longer any legal obstacle to the discontinuation of care and so that's the end of this legal case benson's stories truly heartbreaking and controversial in many ways the battle of 2 sides of one family both wishing the best for their loved one the mother says she was fighting against a system that she believes fails to protect its citizens but some point out there was an important lesson to bill learned from vincent's case in an ideal world most of us or all of us should discuss death with our loved one. of course we don't and especially when you're young of course you don't think you're ever going to die you think you're going to live forever but you know the organization to which i belong

friends at the end we urge people to make an advanced directive but it seems that regardless whether the man's and it's peaceful or not the fight is far from over he's parents and now preparing to press murder charges. more for national r.t. . farmers in the u.s. state of kentucky say that an increasing number of black vultures have been terrorizing the livestock they claim they stand to lose as much as half a $1000000.00 in business as the number of predators continues to grow in video collected by locals the birds could be seen harassing a herd of cows the birds are said to be preying on the most vulnerable animals. with a vulture it's like someone came in with a skin a knife they're very efficient at what they do it's all clean cuts usually the highs completely cut off the rest with the dogs it will be torn and jacked farmers say the birds have been feeding off newborn carves 1 1 full grown use and lambs vultures can be valuable to the ecosystem of course disposing very cleanly of

animal carcasses but farmers argue they can't do much to prevent attacks on their livestock as vultures which should native to kentucky or federally protected animals under the migrating re bird treaty the birds can't be harmed to the federal permission the punishment is a fine of up to $2000.00 or even 2 years in prison special federal annual permits are required before a person can kill vultures in kentucky joe came from the kentucky farm bureau talked to us about the challenges the farmers are facing. the vultures have been causing problems for livestock producers in kentucky for about the last 10 or 12 years and generally the lalas years around $300000.00 to $500000.00 for kentucky's producers u.s. fish and wildlife service and u.s.d.a. wildlife services are working with us to develop a program that allows producers the ability to protect their livestock that
