a vegetative state. just go on 3 pm here in moscow this sunday july the 6th one welcome to the program . our top story. google has been accused of interfering in last year's london mark abortion referendum in ireland by block listing certain pro life search terms on you tube in the run up to the vote the allegation that the tech giant me if attempted to influence the outcome those busy who voted against allowing abortion in the country protests are expected in some stage on saturday with more on the story on the background to it. when you type are searched in to you to 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
8:02 am
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 $8000.00 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 that for a wide range of news and information queries we have algorithms 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
8:03 am
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 vin google's 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 or thora to save content google's interference in the referendum unarmed i think is it should send a warning shot across every to everybody who is 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
8:04 am
the very obvious question i think from if this was all above board and if this was not serious then why did they hide this why we only learned about this because of project very tight because somebody in google decided that this was wrong and just to project their interest that's the only reason we know 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 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 news is not. the latest on an ongoing story now according to her has extended the detention of an the remaining oil tanker by 2 weeks after it was seized by british marines on thursday the vessel is believed to have been attempting to smuggle oil to syria in violation of e.u. sanctions to run though the incident amounts to morrow time piracy shoddy edwards dusty reports. brought to court to the extent of 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
8:06 am
the ship is likely to remain impounded for several weeks now in retaliation and demands for immediate release of the vessel and condemned what it sees as an illegal detention tantamount to maritime piracy an 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 believe to be bound to syria which indeed violates sanctions this action the rose from information giving the gibraltar government reasonable grounds to
8:07 am
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 iranian 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. . koreans 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. 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 at your bolters government said in a statement that they acted independently on their own accord the decisions of her
8:08 am
majesty's government of gibraltar would taken to do independently based on breaches of existing law and not at all based on extraneous political considerations meanwhile the seizure was hailed enthusiastically by a key member of the trumpet ministration excell news yuki has the team the supertanker grease 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 the 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 aim stockpiles and that although it allies its european allies including the u.k. have not followed suit in terms of pulling out to her on august the other sink that
8:09 am
treats including france and germany and even the u.k. haven't done enough to keep the d.n.a. 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. team huge environmental activists griffith who shot to fame by leading a wave of student climate protests appears to be drawing the ire of motorists in germany vehicles across the country have been sporting offensive bumper stickers ridiculing her campaigning it seems doubtful their stance will stop the 26 year old who she's already earned a nomination for a nobel peace prize under her photo has appeared on the cover of time magazine.

what we do or don't do right now in my generation come on to do. everything nice to see. these tests today. that we young people are waiting out. and we promise we will not let so you get away with thanks anymore. let's take a look at these recent figures which demonstrate the german people are eager to
8:11 am
come about the reasons which may be contributing to climate change this red figure over 70 per cent for instance said they're preparing to give up on short haul flights a majority would also be willing to pay more for meat products but when it comes to fuel down the bottom here it's a different story with just 27 percent in favor of higher prices the latter figures there could be explained by germany's passion for cars on the importance of the country's auto industry at a concert for one 5th of germany's industrial output and provides jobs for quite a substantial number over its 100000 people well political commentator i k hummer told r.t. that efforts to target that particular sector will not prove popular. so in germany knievel already the or there's something going against now especially if it's regarding their arse germs are concerned.
8:12 am
essentially because really they started so although. most of the people who just follow the far end of the problem around are. telling us that they propose but now they realize they're these and. their stash is one. where the. jobs in germany in car industry and restraining people using their car and these to nurse were germans the 1st one who said well i know that we have. your job and our cars then do a lot of you changed. ok i want to turn to africa now where this month marks the end of one of the most horrifying chapters in modern history than 1914 aside over
8:13 am
the course of $100.00 days in the summer of 190-480-0000 people were killed most of the dead were tutsis with those perpetrating the violence from the hutu majority in the 25 years since the atrocity the country has made significant steps forward its ranks for instance among the top 3 safest african countries now but still faces a number of challenges the solemn anniversary for the troubled african nation of rwanda it's 25 years since one of the worst genocides of recent times this history . where knox repeat. that is out on me to. ever find their way to forgive. but would not the one forget also known as the genocide against the ethnic tutsi in 1994 almost a 1000000 people were killed the assassination of the ethnic hutu president triggered
8:14 am
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 trends formation 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 ranked 5th the safest in the world for walking at night with singapore topping the list no surprise rwanda's called the single poor of africa and also now one of the cleanest places on earth when the countries is increasing its silks very nice in. rwanda 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
8:15 am
in conflict with the white house slapping steep tariffs on the nation and a major round 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 train we are satisfied with their performance with the west apparently blocking its path the small african nation may have found a different road map to success. yeah last year apart african affairs analyst lawrence freeman told us that china's extensive investment in rwanda has been the real driver of its development. for i think the u.s. . now you're helping out from country i think comes from. them obviously when the west into nothing nothing to actually control the structure in economical
8:16 am
. it's a shameful at night state to know that european countries it's only been the last can assume years ahead of china that you ship or prudent use you think and they actually begun to build rearwards power cleans ports. where the previous 50 year is nothing was done by western nations and that to me crews that are not that serious about mark receipt and that they used to mark whiskey as a hammer to beat upon and beat up and sometimes regime change in african nations. i had after the break for us to have kentucky is being terrorized by an invasion of a lock vultures on farmers are powerless to fight bach we tell you why in the minds .
8:17 am
of. something rotting wretch and being rich is 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 patient's monopolist then you are heading up like a pharmaceutical industry one or 2 or 3 major cluck to crap some collusion and colluding monopolist and all of us pricing that stuff right stats time round.
8:18 am
minutes into the program hello again tens of thousands of people have signed an open letter to the french president among you will micron urging him to intervene in the controversial case of lumber he's a former psychiatric nurse whose life support systems are being switched off almost 11 years after a car crash left him in a vegetative state with no hope of recovery the call comes after francis highest court ended a long running legal battle on friday ruling that doctors can disconnect the 42 year old's feeding tubes that will leave him to die slowly dehydration in the
8:19 am
sedated state while you thin is he is a legal country medics are allowed to terminally ill patients into a quote deep state of sedation until they're dead but while some of lumber relatives believe he should indeed be allowed to die his catholic parents are strongly opposed to the decision they say he only requires basic care and can breathe on his own he's being murdered. i beg you to intervene to remind france if it's an obligation to respond to the precautionary measures prescribed by the comedian and not to kill my son the young my son is the life of oneself and 700 people who share this condition that are threatened please help us with more now on the case which has proved to be polarizing both for a family and french society as a whole area for national. 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
8:20 am
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 we incent 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
8:21 am
a marathon started that resulted in vinson been off and back on life support 5 times after the ruling to store 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 see vincent has been in this state for 10 years so his chances of recovery let's be perfectly honest with you removed 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 his loved one winces 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 the.
8:22 am
normal reaction story is. 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 if 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 agreed to come here in the hope that we might be able to defend him but despite all the efforts
8:23 am
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 minsan 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 at 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 ones. 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
8:24 am
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 of a national party. a former in the u.s. state of kentucky save them an increasing number of these guys black vultures have been terrorizing livestock they claim they stand to lose as much as half a $1000000.00 the industry as a whole as the number of predators continues to grow in one video filmed by locals the birds can be seen harassing a herd of carlos' the vultures are said to have been preying on the most vulnerable among us. with a vulture it's like someone came in with a skinning knife they're very efficient at what they do it's all clean carts usually their hides completely cut off whereas with
