2:04 am
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 its search 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

2:07 am
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. based on the laws of korea and we have been aware of the operation civil guard. have been watching the area but we are investigating the circumstances under which the us had its petition to the u.k. as 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 were taken to do independently waste some

2:15 am
out from country by their constant heartbeat under modesty when the west has done nothing nothing to actually control infrastructure uneconomical. it's a shameful at both united states and other european countries it's only been in the last 10 or so years that on the china that you ship are present in painting and they actually begun to build where were. pollutants and ports. where the previous 50 years nothing was done by western nations and that to me crews that are not that serious about the mark received and that they use democracy as a hammer to beat upon and being up and sometimes regime change in african nations 550 or more in moscow good morning coming up after the break the us state of kentucky is being terrorized by an invasion of black vultures but follows

a powerless to fight but will tell he was right this is our trade for national. so the temporary orders that i'm on or before i go to final actually do allow me to address them as james and his male pronouns but i cannot do that in front of 3rd parties who know him as a girl so basically i can't go to a school i keep them away from any friends he might have at school that know him as a girl and at my home he's known as james and i use male pronouns when i'm prohibited from doing right now is trying to convince him that he's actually a boy. we have the expectation that when we lifted people out of poverty when he became rich then we'd become. and i think that is what
2:17 am
a lot of people ah struggling with now the expected that once they reached a certain level of income then they would be happy. and yet we create new size we create new things we want and i think sometimes we run out of explanations for why we feel on. any 1000 people have signed an open letter to the french president the calling on him i know mccrone to intervene in the case of vincent man whose life support systems are being switched off 10 years after a car crash left him in a vegetative state it comes off to friends his highest court said the last month the doctors could remove the 42 year old feeding choose now but has since a motorbike accident back in 2008 the center of the right to die debate while
2:18 am
euthanasia is illegal in france doctors are allowed to put terminally ill patients into a deep state of sedation said vincent smothers been fighting to save his son's life along the way. 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 the young my son is the life of one south and 700 people who share this condition that i threaten it please help us but parents know unable to appeal the decision to switch off his life support with more. 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
2:19 am
a 5 year battle for his life the battle for his death has started where 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 been since 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 resulted in vinson been off and back on life support 5 times after the ruling to stop artificial attrition was confirmed by 5 different
2:20 am
legal bodies including the european court for human rights we do rely on doctors of course and as a see vincent has been 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 loved one when says mother was never ready to give up at one point she even released 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. up to the normal reactions form is mostly. they have nothing to do with emotions several more times the
2:21 am
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 says mother made her very last plea she appeared at the u.n. 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 agreed 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 is no longer any legal obstacle to
2:22 am
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 and 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
