growth that's due in part to backing from another superpower china beijing's military even accompanied one troops at this week's anniversary celebrations there prefer. today has gone beyond our expectations reaching the level of a 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. while african affairs analyst lawrence freeman told us that china's extensive investment in rwanda has been the main driver of its development unfortunately the key to us is now nearly helping out from country by the country. and i'm obviously one westerton nothing nothing to actually control this is structurally economic to go. so it's a shameful at both the united states and other european countries it's only been in
9:16 am
the last 10 or so year with. china that you ship or president xi jinping and they actually begun to build railroads clunes ports. where the previous 50 years nothing was done by western nations and that to me crews that are not that serious about mark received and that they use democracy as a hammer to beat upon up and sometimes regime change in african nations ok the news continues this suddenly in 90 seconds. so the temporary orders that i'm under before you go to final trial actually do allow me to address them as james and use male pronouns but i cannot do that in front of 3rd parties who know him as
9:17 am
a girl so basically i can't go to his school i keep him away from any friends he might have at school but known as a girl and at my home he's known as james and i use male pronouns what i'm prohibited from doing right now is trying to convince him that he's actually a boy. is something wrong with being rich 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 rapacious monopolist then you are heading up like in the pharmaceutical industry one or 2 or 3 major cluck to kravtsova collusion colluding monopolist and all of us pricing that's not rights that's ironic.

9:20 am
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 to 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 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 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
9:21 am
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 the 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. normal shit 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
9:22 am
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 see. that's the end of this dispute there is no longer any plea that can be made it can suspend the discontinuation of there is no longer any legal obstacles to the discontinuation of care and that's the end of this legal case benson stories truly
9:23 am
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 build learned for instance 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 i'm 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 often. all right we turn attention to the u.s.
